Join Audubon Vermont's Senior Program Manager of Forests, Steve Hagenbuch, for a special guided walk through the beautiful Trapps forest – protected in partnership with Stowe Land Trust.
With more than 25 years at Audubon VT, Steve has held a variety of roles and now focuses on expanding the Bird-Friendly Maple Program across VT and the U.S.
During this walk, you’ll learn how thoughtful forest management benefits birds, forests, and maple production.
The von Trapp property has a rich sugaring tradition with ~2,000 trees tapped each spring, producing over 500 gallons of maple syrup in a typical year. This legacy dates back to the 1940s, when Maria von Trapp and her family first began tapping these very trees.
RSVP is required. Please RSVP below!
What to Bring:
- Sturdy hiking footwear
- Backpack with water, snacks, and weather-appropriate layers
- Binoculars if you have them!
