SUMMARY:Mud Season Speaker Series - Pumpkin & Pye: How Beavers Keep us Cool
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Patti Smith\nIn partnership and taking place at the Brooks Memorial Library\nFree Event \nBEEC and the Brooks Memorial Library invite you to a series of programs based on the Vermont Reads 2025-26 selection\, The Light Pirate. The themes of the book and our program series are climate resilience through community and the unstoppable power of the natural world. \nPumpkin was born in a stone culvert under Upper Dummerston Road and orphaned when his mother was hit by a car. Pye was attacked and badly injured by a dog as a yearling. BEEC naturalist Patti Smith will tell how these young beavers came together and into her care. Photos and videos will illustrate the many adventures that ensued. Patti will discuss their crucial role in holding water on a warming planet and mitigating floods. Learn how communities are solving beaver conflicts in ways that allow beavers to keep us cool. \nPatti Smith has been studying a beaver colony since 2008 and has been rehabilitating injured and orphaned mammals almost as long. Her observations of wildlife inspire her columns in the Brattleboro Reformer and her book\, The Beavers of Popples Pond.

SUMMARY:Forest First Fridays: A Nature-Based Recovery and Wellness Program
DESCRIPTION:Bonnyvale has partnered with Turning Point of Windham County and the Windham Foundation to offer a yearlong\, nature-based wellness pilot supporting individuals in recovery. We'll be offering individuals the chance to gather monthly on BEEC’s campus for guided sessions that blend outdoor skills\, nature exploration\, and peer support. Through hands-on activities and shared experiences in nature\, this program fosters resilience\, connection\, and healthy habits. \nIn our first program in this series\, we will be covering fire-building\, cooking\, birding\, animal tracking\, and outdoor recovery support. \n \nTurning Point of Windham County (TPWC) is a local recovery center located in downtown Brattleboro. TPWC's core mission is to support and improve the lives of our neighbors who are experiencing substance use and addiction\, at any stage of their recovery. They do this through peer-led social connection\, community education\, counseling groups\, recovery support\, outreach\, and advocacy. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Full Moon Hike and Tea
DESCRIPTION:Members: $20 Adult; Public: $25\nJoin us for the third and final supermoon of 2025. Together\, we’ll welcome a wintry full moon with a peaceful woodland hike and warm tea as day gives way to dusk. \nWe’ll follow winding trails through forest and meadow\, moving at a relaxed\, steady pace for 1-2 miles. At the top of Heifer Hill\, if the sky allows\, we’ll pause to greet the rising full moon and catch the colors of sunset. Together\, we’ll share tea and the stillness of the season before our walk back through the dimming light. \nThis hilly hike is open to all ages. Advance registration is required.  \nWhat to Bring:\n Wear sturdy shoes and warm layers (thermal base layers\, hat\, gloves\, etc.). For our pause at the hilltop\, please have an additional layer in your pack (wind shell\, ski jacket\, etc.) — the wind and stillness under the setting sun will lead to a temperature drop. Bring water and any personal needs. Your guide will have a headlamp and we’ll plan to have you back before dark. You may optionally bring your own headlamp or flashlight as well. A small pack is helpful for carrying your items.

SUMMARY:Grateful Forest: A Gathering of Stillness and Renewal
DESCRIPTION:Suggested Contribution: $5–$45 (pay what you can)\n\n\n\nThe day after Thanksgiving\, step away from the busyness of the season and into the quiet abundance of the natural world. This mindful experience invites you to slow down\, awaken your senses\, and connect with nature in a meaningful and memorable way. \nRooted in shinrin-yoku—the Japanese practice of “forest bathing”—this gentle immersion includes guided invitations and a short meditation to help you engage with nature through all your senses\, including intuition and imagination. The experience includes periods of sitting\, exploration\, and slow walking over short distances on hilly terrain. \nGrateful Forest is offered in partnership with Amanda Kenyon\, Nature Therapy & Meditation Guide. Past participants have described Amanda’s immersions as “peaceful\, gentle\, and joyful\,” “magical and transformative\,” and “profoundly rejuvenating.” \nJoin us for a special opportunity to rest\, reflect\, and reconnect with gratitude for all that nature provides. \nSuggested Contribution: $5–$45 (pay what you can)\n  This program is offered in the spirit of accessibility and community care. Your contribution helps support future offerings and the stewardship of the land.
