The Herricks Cove Wildlife Festival will be held May 5, 2024, the first Sunday of May. We hope to see you there, enjoying a special day of nature, programs, and activities for young and old. The event is organized by the Ascutney Mountain Audubon Society, VT Fish and Wildlife, and Great River Hydro.

The day starts with a pre-festival bird walk led by Don Clark and Ken Cox. The programs and exhibits open at 10 am. Come learn about birds, bats, turtles, butterflies and other insects, plants, and more. There will be live-animal exhibits by Vermont Natural History Museum, Southern Vermont Natural History Museum, Squam Lake Natural Science Center, and Wildlife Encounters. There will also be kids' activities throughout the day with Wonderle's Big Top Adventures, Lindsay and her Puppet Pals, face-painting, and crafts. Plus food, book, and nature-craft vendors. Updates are listed on the Ascutney Mountain Audubon Society web page: https://amasvt.org/.

Suggested donation at the gate is $2 per person or $5 per family.
