Getting started with a veggie garden
|
I believe that gardening is a great first step towards conservation. My parents and grandparents gardened when I was young, and that, plus backyard bird feeders, helped me to learn to observe the natural world. I tell anyone interested in gardening to give it a try. Plant something, eat it, and fall in love with the land.

March is Maple Season
|
Back when we lived high up in the Vermont hills, one of the first signs of Spring was the chorus of spring peepers in March. The jingle-like sound of their mating calls echoed up from the marsh a mile below us.

Need a break? Come sit a spell on the Glazier Cabin porch and enjoy the peace and quiet of the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve. Listen to the birds, feel the warmth of the sun, enjoy the view of Creamer Pond, and feel your blood pressure drop.
