We moved to this house, north of the house we first lived in when we moved to the area, more than six years ago. When we moved, we changed driving routes to get to NH, driving north through Rutland, VT, instead of south through Bennington. Every drive, we pass the Vermont Institute of Natural Science. They always have inviting signs about raptor feedings and special programs. Recently, they opened a wild walk.
I always mention, "we should go!" But it never seems the right time. We are driving too late in the day, or the weather is wrong, or kids are sleeping.
Today, we planned to visit on the way home. We packed a lunch, and headed out.
We bought the season pass, so now anytime we are driving back and forth, we can stop to say hi to some owls, or take a quick walk on the wild walk, or play at the natural playground for a little while.
It isn't quite the size or experience of the Wild Center in Tupper Lake- the other nature center with animals and a wild walk within driving distance- but it was definitely a fun stop.
