This is part of a summer series of outings at the Cold Hollow Sculpture Park in Enosburg, Vermont.

We’ll start the outing by getting to know who’s on the landscape that particular day and practice sharing our observations as a group in a way that uplifts each participant, no matter their level of knowledge or experience birding. Next, we’ll settle into a sit spot session with prompts that Bridget will offer the group to use. We’ll wrap up by coming back together and sharing our observations, feelings, and wonderings with the whole group.

Consider bringing a portable chair, journal, favorite beverage or water, binoculars, hat, sunscreen, bug spray, and whatever will make you most comfortable sitting in place. We will have some binoculars and portable chairs for participants to borrow. Participants should dress for the weather and be prepared for at least 30 minutes of sitting in place.

Bridget strives to make each outing as accessible as possible. If you have any accessibility needs, please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. Birding is for everyone and Slow Birding is meant to be accessible to all!

ABOUT THE PARK

Cold Hollow Sculpture Park is a place for discovery in rural northern Vermont. We champion curiosity and attentive observation to stimulate thought and bring joy by showcasing sculptures on the land and programs bridging the arts, sciences, and humanities.

The Park supports visitors in cultivating "an aesthetic awareness" through their discoveries of the profound yet subtle relationships of the natural and human-made worlds. When entering sculptures that can also be viewed from varying distances and angles, visitors' perceptions of space, color, and form are awakened and challenged. This quality of awareness is also a way of being, in one's life and the world, that brings respect and dedication to everything that one engages.
