Join South Hero Land Trust, Lake Champlain Land Trust, and local nature-enthusiast Chuck Hulse, as we walk the Landon Trail and search for signs of spring! Come learn all the many ways the local flora and fauna are waking up and changing with the seasons.

We will look at various life forms/stages of everything from slime molds, to mushrooms, lichens, plants, trees and animals.

Optional: Bring a hand lens and a phone app (SEEK preferably). SHLT has spare hand lenses to anyone who wants to borrow one.

This event will be very hands-on. We will stop at various places and getting to touch, look and experience what we find at both macro and micro (hand lens). More than just learning about nature, the goal for this event is to help participants learn techniques for exploring nature on their own. Expect to come away with new skills you can use anytime to appreciate the world around us.

Pre-registration is required. Because of the nature of the event and the size of the trail, we are limiting this event to 10 people. Please sign up using this RSVP Form or by emailing Guy Maguire at guy@shlt.org

We’ll add a 2nd walk at 11:30 if the 10am one fills up, stay tuned.

Site Information: We’ll meet at a crushed stone parking lot, and walk along a dirt trail. Due to a large rock at the beginning of the trail, this event is not wheelchair accessible. Visit the Landon Community Trail page for more information.
