Do you want to learn more about the nature of southern Vermont? Meet new neighbors and friends and the choir that provides the ambient music of late summer— crickets and katydids. Come to the Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center in West Brattleboro for a social gathering and a chance to look and listen for some of the distinctive singers. We’ll tell the temperature from the rich chirps of a snowy tree cricket and admire the antennae of a sword-bearing conehead. Will we hear the “tricky Dick” bug? Learn to recognize the songs of some of the most recognizable species and learn about how and why they sing.
The view from the top of the Bonnyvale hill is well worth the short walk. We will end there to enjoy the chorus.
Refreshments provided. Children are very welcome!
