UVM Field Naturalist Program

Another year and another successful Winter Ecology trip to Maine. The Boxelders (cohort AN) were treated to two winter storms, cayote carcasses, and an incredible tour of Bernd Heinrich’s personal specimen collection.

Cohort AN, recently dubbed the Box Elders (Acer negundo), had their writing class on the rocky shore of Lake Champlain just before Thanksgiving break. Our writing assignment for the week was darkness-themed, so we started class at sunset. We were stoked to catch these magnificent colors as we arrived!

Taking a closer look at spring ephemerals on this last Friday Field Walk. We were guided by expert botanists Cathy Paris and Grace Glynn.
