Impromptu nature walk at Woodside Park with casual birding

Want to get some fresh air this evening? Get off the couch and join us for a quick one mile loop that can be done at a very casual pace and has abundant bird-watching opportunities. I'll be bringing some treats for our feathered friends and will have plenty to share.

Look at the event photo for an idea of the terrain. The steepest part has stairs, as the adjacent path is often very slick. Unless it has been cleared very recently, there is a large tree down across the trail that requires a little agility to get past. It's about hip height for me (6'1").

Here is a link to the trail information: https://wvpd.org/woodside-natural-area/

The address is 268 Woodside Dr · Essex, VT 05452. Parking is along the side of the road. I will be driving a black Ford Explorer with VT tags starting with KEF so you know you're in the right place.

We will start with brief ice breakers promptly at 5:30, then head down the trail for some bird watching, then continue with the loop. If you arrive late, you might catch us if we're lingering with the birds.

If this is too late of notice, no worries, we'll have plenty more events coming up. I just wanted to rip the band-aid off and give this a try. Hope to see you soon!
