Glacial history walk at Cavendish Gorge
May 31 at 10 a.m. Power Plant Road
Cheryl Cox, retired geologist and science educator will lead the walk and discussion. During this visit we will learn about the site’s formation and the glacial history of the area. Starting at the sand and gravel pits we will view the Gorge from below, then walk up to the dam at the top of the Gorge.
Meet up is at 10 a.m. at the picnic area by the GMP Transfer station on Power Plant Road just off Route 131 in Cavendish. There is plenty of parking at the station as well as along the road.
Be sure to wear shoes suitable for hiking on uneven terrain. In the event of rain, the walk will be moved to June 1 at the same time. For more information contact Robin at cavendishcommunityconservation@gmail.com

Living with Bears -
June 4 at 6 p.m. at the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library.
Naturalist Tom Geider will present a program about bears in our environment and how to avoid conflicts. Bears are attracted to our properties by bird feeders, garbage cans and other attractants. We will learn more about how to manage these attractants to keep our bear population wild. Tom will also discuss human and wildlife conflicts in general and other services USDA Wildlife Services provides to the public.
Tom Geider has been a Wildlife Specialist with USDA Wildlife Services since 2017. He currently works with the Vt. Fish and Wildlife Department focusing on mitigating human wildlife conflict, primarily for bear, but also for white tailed deer, turkeys and geese.
