Mushrooms! Mushrooms! Joe Nudell. will lead a walk on the Hardwick Trails at 9:00 on Saturday, June 28 to find, identify and learn about these fungi, abundant in our woods.

Joe’s expertise can answer questions like “What’s safe and what isn’t?” “Where and when are the best places to look?” “Why does it look like that?” The Hardwick Trails Committee sponsors this free event and invites everyone.

When: May 31, 2025, 7 to 9 AM

Come share the bounty of birds now in the woodlands of the Hardwick Trails. Marie Grabon, birder extraordinaire, leads this Saturday’s Bird Walk (May 31), beginning at 7:00am at the Kiosk behind the Hazen Union School parking lot.

The warblers and so many others have now arrived. Here’s a challenge: at the last bird walk, we added 2 new species, including a Tennessee warbler, making a total of 90 birds on our list. Can we go even higher? Come and see. Marie brings her expertise and her smiling encouragement. Together, our many eyes and ears insure we’ll detect who’s out there.

The Hardwick Trails Committee sponsors this free event and welcomes all who want to enjoy the songs and colors of the winged world. Questions? Call Norma Wiesen 802-472-6517.
