Birding Walk at the Andrews Community Forest w/ Audubon Vermont

Saturday, May 20

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Join the Richmond Conservation Commission and the Andrews Community Forest Committee this Saturday for a birding walk at the Andrews Community Forest in Richmond. The walk will be led by Ethan Tapper (the Chittenden County Forester) and Tim Duclos (Audubon Vermont). We will visit areas of the ACF which were recently managed, discover what birds might be utilizing this new habitat during peak breeding season, and discuss how forest management can benefit bird habitat. 

To join, meet at 9:00 AM on Saturday, May 20 at the ACF’s parking area, here: https://goo.gl/maps/78CifedojuoVnXRE7. This walk will involve a 20-30 minute walk up some steep slopes and over some uneven terrain. Please bring your own binoculars, be dressed for the elements and make sure to be “tick-safe!”
