I am posting this on behalf of Michelle Acciavatti, MS:
Come visit Vermont Forest Cemetery, nestled in the Green Mountains above Roxbury, to walk the grounds and observe this year's migration!
VFC is the state's first natural burial cemetery and there are 10 acres of mixed hardwood forest with trails currently open to the public. Part of our mission is conservation, and we are eager to learn about our bird population and how we can best support it.
The White River Natural Resources Conservation District also supports the cemetery, and the forest is being stewarded in part by a Cooperator from VT Woodlands for Wildlife. We encourage visitors to continue to add their birding findings on iNaturalist and Merlin to help us develop our species index for this beautiful forest.
VFC is open every day from dawn to dusk. Diane Brown Middlebury
