PUTNEY, Vt. – The Cheshire County Conservation District (CCCD), in partnership with the Monadnock Nature and Bird Club, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Windham County Natural Resources Conservation District, Monadnock Outdoors, and Southeastern Vermont Audubon Society, are excited to continue the popular Birding on the Farm workshop series.
Join us for an exciting opportunity to bird on farms throughout our region on Tuesday, Sept. 22, from 7-9 a.m. Learn new skills and about wildlife conservation on the farm. We will meet and park at the Cow Barn, 6 Putney School Road, Putney, Vt. It is right off of Houghton Brook Road and easy to see.
Participants will learn about farm habitat dynamics for birds, habitat management, wildlife conservation on the farm, farm conservation easements and their importance in supporting local agriculture and wildlife, as well as species identification from experienced bird guides.
This workshop series is open to birders and enthusiasts of all skill levels. Participants should bring binoculars with them, extras may be available, and weather-appropriate attire and boots. Please note that we will take stops for discussion and observation.
The workshops are free, and registration is required at www.cheshireconservation.org/event-details/birding-on-the-farm-the-putney-school. For more information or assistance in online registration, please contact CCCD at 603-904-3011 or info@cheshireconservation.org.
