Valcour Wildflower Cruise 6/16/2007
Joint Rendezvous with MBBC

As I sit here looking out the window at all this snow, on Easter day, crocuses buried by this week’s heavy snowfall, I can’t help but long for warm weather and meeting all our friends on the lake this summer. MBBC has again invited us to join them for the 1st Rendezvous of the season. Last year this was cancelled because of high water, the year before it was cancelled because of weather. Third time’s a charm! We will join Richard Villamil and others from MBBC as they investigate the natural history of Valcour Island including investigation of the glacier's legacy in the Champlain Valley and the spring wildflowers. Richard has a wealth of knowledge and once you tour the island with him, you’ll walk the paths at Valcour with a new perspective.
I will be monitoring channel nine. Hike to start at 2PM and cocktail/hors d’oeuvres at 5:30PM. Bring your dinghy, field guides to the stars, wildflowers and mushrooms, insect repellent, walking shoes, cameras, and binoculars and a snack to share at our social hour/party after the Saturday walk. See you there!
