Sketching with Susan Sawyer on the Hardwick Trails

Posted on August 9, 2025 By Hardwick Trails
Events, Nature

When: Aug 16, 2025, 9 AM
Where: Green Mountain Tech and Career Bldg. N. Main St. Hardwick

Join Susan Sawyer for a Drawing-in-the-Woods event on the Hardwick Trails on Saturday, Aug. 16 at 9:00.
Susan is an artist-teacher-naturalist whose love of the outdoors is contagious. Her gentle instruction makes an event with her a joy.

Susan says:

“On this walk, we’ll look for interesting plants to look at and draw, from the smallest ferns and horsetails to the biggest trees. Expect some botany and some drawing instruction.
Bring something to sit on (or take a chance on finding the perfect log or rock).
Paper and clipboards will be available, as well as pencils and hand lenses.
Bring your own sketchbook if you have one.”

NOTE THE MEETING SITE DIRECTIONS BELOW.
Parking for this event is at the Green Mountain Tech and Career Center building. Continue past the entrance to Hazen Union School about a quarter mile. The GMTCC building is on the left. Look for an event sign at the driveway entrance.

This free event is sponsored by the Hardwick Trails Committee. Questions? Call Norma Wiesen 802-472-6517.

INSECT WALK (for everyone!) on the HARDWICK TRAILS
SAT, AUGUST 10 at 1:00
Join naturalist Gail Johnson and butterfly steward Judy Bellairs on a
fun walk to discover some of the insects that inhabit our town.
Participants will find insects everywhere–on plants, in leaves, on the
ground, in water and flying in the air.
We will identify them and learn about their habits and importance.
Judy will show caterpillars and/or chrysalids of American painted lady
and red admiral butterflies, describing how she cares for them.
Bring insect nets to share if you have them.
