BETHEL—Early February is Jam Packed with Opportunities at Mahoosuc Land Trust:
Bird Program Planning • February 7, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Mahoosuc Land Trust’s fledgling bird program is growing. If you are interested in birds – walks, movies, field trips, lectures, either as a beginner or experienced – we need your input on what types of things you would like to see us add to our program in 2020. Please join us at Valentine Farm, 162 North Road, Bethel, to create the calendar of events and discuss other opportunities to grow the birding community. Light refreshments will be served.
Basic Birding 101 • February 8, 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Learn to identify birds in your yard and Mahoosuc Region. This class will take some of the mystery out of identifying birds by demonstrating simple tips, techniques and tools used by experienced birders. The class is perfect for beginners as well as those with some bird watching experience. Led by James Reddoch, author of the Bethel Citizen’s weekly article Mahoosuc Bird Notes.
Full Moon Snowshoe at McCoy/Chapman Forest • February 8
