July 20th at 9:00 am at 1049 Upper Cold River Road.

Have you wondered if there is something you could do to encourage better habitat for those threatened bobolinks nesting in your grassy field? Wondered how to manage your wooded land so that it supports habitat for more woodland animals like bobcats or bats? Have you read about the disastrous decline in insects and pollinators that not only provide food for birds (also in decline,) but are instrumental in spreading pollen to inseminate many trees, fruits and vegetables? Is there a way to help manage your land better to help our wildlife? Well, if you own some land, large or small, you might really like to attend the Shrewsbury Conservation's Commission's Walk and Talk with renowned biologist Andrea Shorsleeve, Private Lands Habitat Biologist with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. Andrea will lead a woodland walk and discuss the land management methods property owners can use to improve habitats for wildlife species such as songbirds, bats, pollinators, and a variety of mammals. Come away with ideas on how you can evaluate how to best conserve or manage your land to help our wildlife and world.
