We have 1200 trees that need to go in the ground at a new riparian restoration site in Moretown and we need your help!

Join us for our community planting day on Saturday, April 20 from 9 am - 12 noon as we work to restore floodplain forests and riparian buffers! Since this is on private property, the location will be shared after registration.

Please bring work clothes, closed-toed shoes, and a shovel if you have one. We'll have extra tools available so don't worry if you don't have one.

RSVP to us know you're coming: https://bit.ly/mrv-trees-2024

Join the Friends of the Mad River and the Mad River Valley Libraries for a climate and ecology-themed book discussion. In April, we will be discussing "The Omnivores Dilemma" by Michael Pollan.

In The Omnivore's Dilemma, Pollan explores our food choices and their connection to our health and survival as a species and offers a glimpse into America's food and agriculture business. Join us for this discussion which will be co-facilitated by a Harwood High School student studying Food Systems.

Copies of the book are available to check out from Moretown Memorial Library and other MRV Libraries.

Come to an in-person event supporting the North Branch Nature Center's Amphibian Road Crossing project! The transect we are monitoring is on Airport Road in Waitsfield with ample parking at the Mad River Park parking lot.

If you missed the training last week, visit the NBNC Amphibian Web Page: https://northbranchnaturecenter.org/amphibian-conservation/ and review the resources and training materials. It will be rainy, cool and dark so come with:
· Rain gear and boots
· Reflective clothes
· Bright flashlights

We’ll have the necessary supplies on hand for collecting data but don't hesitate to bring your citizen science tools:
· Camera
· Mobile device for online data entry
· Spatula
· Clean bucket
· Waterproof data sheet and clipboard
· Pencil
· Magnifying glass
