Get to know your new neighbors, humans and crickets alike. We’ll tell the temperature from the rich chirps of a snowy tree cricket and admire the antennae of a sword-bearing conehead. Learn to recognize the songs of some of the most recognizable species and learn about how and why they sing. After snacks and socializing, we will take a short walk to enjoy the chorus and the view from Bonnyvale Hill.

Refreshments provided; some edible insects will also be on offer for the daring!

This is a program for all ages, including adults! Please RSVP at sovermont.com/newcomers-mixers.

Presented by GROW SoVermont, a program of Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation to welcome new and returning Vermonters, in partnership with Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center.

Rain date: 10/3, same time.
