The dark days of winter are finally lengthening, but there are still plenty of long winter nights ahead. Why not learn a little about the natural world through an online presentation? There are quite a few online webinar types opportunities from Vermont Conservation organizations. Many of the naturalists making these presentations are from Vermont and talking about Vermont ecosystems, but some are going farther afield. All are enthusiastic about what they do and may just help you answer that burning question you didn’t know you had!
