SUMMARY:Botany and the Body series: Healing the Emotional Body on the Land
DESCRIPTION:$55 members/$65 non-members \nIn the third and final workshop in our Botany and the Body series\, we'll explore how to nurture the emotional body through connection with the land. Participants explore practices for grieving and healing with the support of plants\, trees\, and the surrounding landscape. Deciduous and evergreen trees offer guidance and comfort\, while seasonal flowers\, seeds\, berries\, and cones can be gathered to create art that nourishes emotional and spiritual well-being. \nThe session includes a plant identification and ethnobotany walk\, highlighting plants and trees traditionally associated with the heart and emotional healing\, such as hawthorn\, rose\, pine\, linden\, and catnip. Attendees will collect needles\, cones\, and berries to craft solstice beeswax candles\, integrating the natural materials into a meaningful practice of reflection and care. \nEach participant will receive a complimentary face serum or body scrub from Ursa Major. \nDr. Jessica Dolan is an environmental anthropologist and ethnobotanist\, who has worked with Indigenous communities and environmental caretakers in the Northeast\, as a researcher\, writer\, and on Indigenous history\, land stewardship\, food sovereignty\, and cultural regeneration projects\, for the last 20 years. She currently works at the National Park Service Northeast Region\, Native American Affairs\, and is writing an ethnobotany field guide. Her daily work involves writing\, creating interpretive resources\, and planning/teaching environmental stewardship education\, across the Northeast. She is a loving parent to a third generation Brattleboro kid.

SUMMARY:May Birding Walk
DESCRIPTION:Start your morning with birdsong at BEEC! Join us in May for an early morning bird walk with Cory Ross of the Vermont Audubon Association and Daniel Dubie as we explore BEEC’s 60 wild acres in the heart of peak songbird breeding season. During this time\, the landscape comes alive with color\, movement\, and sound. With warm weather\, abundant habitat\, and the arrival of warblers\, thrushes\, and tanagers\, this is one of the most rewarding times of year to be outdoors. \nAs we move through mature hardwood and mixed forests\, open fields\, and transitional forest edges\, we’ll listen for the full chorus of songs and observe active breeding behaviors as birds establish nests and raise young. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just beginning to tune in to spring migration and nesting activity\, this guided walk offers a peaceful\, immersive opportunity to deepen your connection to nature and sharpen your birding skills. \nCory Ross is the Director of the regional Soil and Water Conservation District and a board member of the Southeastern Vermont Audubon Association\, where he works to advance conservation efforts and support bird habitat protection across the region. \nDaniel Dubie is a regional ecologist and naturalist with 30 years of experience studying birds and their habitats.

SUMMARY:Vernal Pool Walk with VT Center for Ecostudies
DESCRIPTION:Vernal pools are small\, seasonal wetlands that flood in spring and dry up by midsummer\, creating vital\, fish-free nurseries for amphibians like salamanders and wood frogs. These hidden gems also provide food and water for countless forest creatures—but their small size and temporary nature make them especially vulnerable to human impacts. Join Kevin Tolan from the Vermont Center for Ecostudies for a guided walk as we step into the world of vernal pools and learn how to document and conserve these delicate ecosystems. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy waterproof footwear or rubber boots.
