Join Slate Valley Trails and the Rutland County Audubon Society for weekly slow-paced (~3 miles, 3 to 3.5 hours) bird & wildflower hikes in the Poultney area, Tuesdays at 7:30 AM. All are welcome. No worry if you can't identify many birds. There will be many friendly and accomplished birders in the group who will happily share their knowledge with you. Bring water and a snack (and insect repellent if you use it), binoculars, cameras, field guides, if you have them. There is usually an opportunity to cut it short if you need to leave early. They are at a slow pace with lots of opportunities for observing & photographing.

Contact Joel Tilley for more information: jptilley50@gmail.com (preferred method), or 802-298-2583, evenings 7 to 8pm.

The next hike is: Tuesday, October 1 – Endless Brook
Meet at the Endless Brook trailhead (Endless Brook Rd, on left, 0.9 mi in from VT Rte 30). The hike will be about 3 miles, 3 hours, Easy to Moderate terrain (250 ft elevation gain). Showers are predicted, but I will be there unless it is raining heavily.
