Join us for the Master Naturalist Art Reception on Saturday, April 4th at The Montpelier Center for Arts & Education. This special event will celebrate the beauty of nature through art while offering guests the opportunity to learn more through a series of educational tabletop presentations and speaker features.

Guests can explore outreach educational offerings on tabletops, including Pollinators, Native Plants, and Supporting Wildlife; Living with Black Bears; Kestrel and Screech Owl Nestbox Program; and Nature Journaling.
