Join our Outreach and Education Coordinator for monthly observation of two Signs of the Seasons locations at Mount Agamenticus.
Signs of the Seasons (SOS) is an environmental monitoring and education program for New England residents. Participants contribute to the program by observing and recording phenology, the seasonal changes of common plants and animals, in their communities and backyards. We’ve designated two locations at Mount A for regular monitoring of indicator/calibration species.
The public is welcome to come along monthly April through November for a quiet walk or hike, observation, and discussion about what we’re seeing. Bring a journal or just yourself! If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer observer in your own backyard, check out available trainings.
Drop-in, free with Parking/Admission. Meet outside Learning Lodge. We will leave for spots promptly at 10:00 AM.
Shrubland Spot: Every Second Wednesday, 10:00 – 11:00 AM. Activity level: easy.
Forest Spot: Every Second Friday, 10:00 – 11:00 AM. Activity level: moderate.
Note: Timeframes are an estimate. Shrubland observation will likely take significantly less than an hour, but Forest observation may be longer, with time needed to hike to the spot and back.
