Join Slate Valley Trails and the Rutland County Audubon Society for weekly slow-paced (3 to 4 miles, 3 to 4 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 friendly 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.

The walks will be limited to 8 people. Contact Joel Tilley to reserve a spot: jptilley50@gmail.com (preferred method), or 802-598-2583, evenings 7 to 8 pm.

We will be abiding by the most recent State of Vermont guidelines for social distancing. Please wear masks/face covering (when spread out on the trail we may be able to remove masks).
