workshops are usually held rain or shine, but sometimes weather conditions
will cause us to cancel a workshop. We ask that you call the VFF offices
(453-7728) the morning of the workshop in case of rain, snow, or high
winds. We will leave a message on the answering machine if the workshop
is cancelled. For programs offered by other groups, please call the
listed contact.
VFF EventsGAME OF LOGGING TRAINING PROGRAMThe Game of Logging training program combines Scandinavian logging techniques with the latest systems for working safely around trees. We cannot overstate the value of these courses. We have participants who’ve used chainsaws for 30 years prior to taking GOL Level I say that the course changed the way they work in the woods.

WILDFLOWER WALK
Looking forward to spring? So are we! That's why we've already set aside time with local conservation biologist Liz Thompson for a wildflower walk as the blooms are bringing color back to our local landscape. Save the date! BELTANE CELEBRATION
Other Local Conservation Events Tracks, and Signs: A Winter Ecology Walk
Join local naturalist Jim Andrews on a leisurely walk through the more accessible sections of the Salisbury Municipal Forest. We will do some winter identification of trees and discuss any wildlife tracks and signs that we locate as well as any birds seen, or anything else of interest. Perhaps we can add a few new species to the 2010 Salisbury vertebrate tally. We will meet at 9:30 across from the town landfill on Upper Plains Road and park along the eastern side of the road. This should be only a moderately strenuous hike, off trail, down into the Halnon Brook valley and back. There is a very short steep section along the bank of the river but otherwise it will be gently sloping. This is a diverse woodland with a good chance of seeing a variety of tracks and trees of many species. If there are over 6 inches of snow on the ground you should bring snow shoes. Snow shoes can be rented in advance from the Salisbury Elementary School during school hours if you do not have any. Call Heidi Willis (352-4327) or Jim Andrews (352-4734) if you have questions. No registration required. "The Art of Action: Shaping Vermont's Future Through Art"
