Senior walk: Pool Nature Center Tour
In 2023, the Vermont Museum of Natural History relocated from Hogback Scenic Overlook to Marlboro, thanks to a generous gift of land and a building from the Pool Learning Center and Wilmington, VT Masonic Lodge. Here the VMNH is continuing to inspire stewardship and appreciation of the natural world through engaging educational experiences.
As we walk the short trail loop near the Pool Nature Center building, we will see a new pollinator garden, an ongoing project to rescue the old Pool Farm apple orchard and new enclosures for non-releasable mammals and birds of prey. These enclosures were intended to be homes for the animals and not displays, but they come out regularly to meet visitors on-site and at traveling programs.
A highlight of the visit will be a live hawk demonstration by Mike Clough, Managing Director and primary educator for the Museum’s off-site and Pool Nature Center Programs.
