Pete McLean, Education Director at Book & Plow Farm and Ted Watt, Hitchcock Center Naturalist
Saturday, June 18, 9am-noon

Modeled on the bioblitz approach to gathering extensive data about specific places, we’ll spend 3 focused hours exploring the grounds around the Hitchcock Center’s upcoming new Living Building Challenge home. Although the new Center won’t be open until autumn 2016, we will explore the grounds around the construction site, noting the species we see – both birds and plants. Participants will spend an hour and a half each with Pete and Ted as they guide our explorations and help identify our finds. You’ll contribute significantly to establishing a baseline of what nature looks like at the debut of our new home. Dress for sun, ticks, a bit of poison ivy, and be prepared to get off trail, young people grade 4 and up welcome with adult companion. Members $20/Non-members $24 Space is limited, please call to register.
