Join us at BEEC (Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center) in West Brattleboro, for a springtime class to learn about a very unique habitat known as a vernal pool.
After a short slide show about the animals that inhabit vernal pools, we will visit a nearby vernal pool to see who might be taking up residence. Once there, we will collect samples in order to learn about identification, classification and the unique characteristics of each type of organism.

BEEC naturalist Patti Smith will be your guide, and will lead you off trail in places to see a few of the more unusual plants that bloom in this special site.This walk is about a half mile and is hilly, but the pace will be leisurely.

Unfortunately we have had to cancel the trail work & potluck portion of the day due to forecasted inclement weather and and unforeseen staff emergency. Thanks for understanding, and hope to see you in the afternoon!
