Join Us in the Field in Spring and Summer 2025
Throughout the spring and summer, VCE’s staff scientists are spread across the state, monitoring breeding loons, atlasing butterflies, identifying Vermont’s wild bees, and more. We invite you to join them in the field to hear about their work and see what they are up to this field season. Check out our currently available trips and register below.
