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.

Quote of the day…” I rode the Hardwick trails on Friday and I was blown away by how brilliant they are. I’ve ridden mountain bikes for 35 years and have ridden all over the country and those trails are truly some of the best! They are challenging but doable…it’s a similar experience to riding in Moab. As I was riding I kept saying to myself I have to thank whoever is behind these trails!”
