Vermont wildlife gets creative during the winter months to endure the cold temperatures and harsh winter conditions. Come learn what different habitats exist in your backyard and our national park. Learn who is active during Vermont’s cold months and who is curled up, hibernating until spring. With the basic needs for survival of food, water and shelter, animals must adapt to the harsh climates and adapt when necessary. Science Communication Specialist Ed Sharron will begin with a discussion inside and then you’ll head outside for a guided snowshoeing tour investigating various habitats. Please dress appropriately for winter weather. Adult and child snowshoes will be available if needed. All ages welcome. Co-sponsored by Vermont Coverts and the Vermont Woodlands Association
Governor Shumlin is the special guest.

This exciting new program will provide technical assistance and up to $5,000 of additional incentives (beyond the $2,500 available from Efficiency Vermont for home weatherization) to help former CVPS customers incorporate heat pumps, modern wood heat and solar electricity into comprehensive home energy projects that reduce overall energy use by 50% or more.
Organizers from the Vermont Building Performance Professionals Association will describe the program and incentives at a forum Wednesday March 9, 6:30 to 8pm at the Thetford Center Community Center. Admission is free and light refreshments will be served.
Bob Walker is happy to work with any former CVPS territory towns to help get the word out about this exciting program. If you or someone from your energy committee can make it to this forum on March 9th it would be a great introduction to the program for you.
