A hike around the unique Fox Hill Lot forest of the Roaring Brook WMA
Saturday July 15th, 9:00 a.m., Vernon
The Windham Regional Woodlands Association will host a tour of a seldom seen area in the Roaring Brook Wildlife Management Area in Vernon, VT . This area is notable for many different wildlife habitats including a dry oak forest with many different varieties of oak, including Red, Black, White, Chestnut and Scarlet Oak, as well as Dogwood, and Sassafras, and a large vernal pool of statewide significance. The walk will be led by Martin Langeveld, joined by Bob Zaino. Natural Community Ecologist with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.
We will leave from the Langeveld home at 131 Woodland Road in Vernon which abuts the area we will visit. Parking is available at his home (4-5 cars), others can park along Woodland Road.
We recommend people wear sturdy shoes, bring water, bring hiking poles if they like those, and be prepared for some light uphills and downhills, with a few hundred feet of elevation change altogether.
