Welcome to Meteorological Spring!

And with that we are going to pay attention to what I consider to be a sure sign that spring is on the way - sugaring!  Our next guild gathering will focus on  the sweetness of soils and the physiology of the sugar maple.  We will also be highlighting phenological monitoring and its importance/connection to the bigger understanding of our ecological communities.  Here are the logistics:

What: March Burlington Phenology Guild event

When: Saturday, March 16th

Time: 9 a.m. - noon

Meet in the RPS Library

Bring: Yourself (and a friend), your journal that BPG provided, your curiosity, and your appetite.

This BPG event will spend the first 2 hours mostly outside and then move inside to enjoy a Maple Celebration hosted by Rock Point School students.  We will be heading to the dining room for an incredible brunch at 11:00.  With that we will also have the option of taking a tour of the sugaring facility at RPS.  It is a great community event not to be missed!  (The BPG will be covering the cost of the maple brunch for our patrons!)

With that being said, it is important for me to get a solid count of who is planning on attending this month's Guild.  As well, if you have the opportunity to carpool, bike or walk, I would recommend it as parking on this morning will be tight.  

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email.  I hope to see you all in a couple of weeks!
