Achieving New Heights In retrospect, 2015-2016 could aptly be summarized in one phrase – “achieving new heights.”

In many ways, this year has been filled with challenges that would have proved daunting to most; however, the VINS staff worked closely together to achieve things that could easily be referred to as “feats” – remarkable accomplishments, occurring on more than one or two occasions throughout the year…

Birds Are Dinosaurs Exhibit The new scientific “Birds Are Dinosaurs” exhibit was launched in May 2015, and received tremendous accolades from scientists to tourists to local members of the community. Under the direction of scientist Gilles Bussod, Ph.D., Ph.D.; Chris Collier, Director, On Site Interpretation; and Charles Rattigan, Executive Director, this exhibit features the evolution of dinosaurs to birds. Going back through 250 million years of time, three cataclysmic mass extinctions, and countless failures of form, it is nothing short of extraordinary that we ended up sharing our world with birds – dinosaurs close avian relatives.

The Incredible Insect Festival Following the fascinating dinosaur exhibit, VINS introduced a new event that could appropriately be described as “incredible.” The Incredible Insect Festival occurred in August of 2015, with an unexpected and remarkable attendance of 468 people. Adults and children alike enjoyed a day of discovery and exploration, observing caterpillar behaviors of mimicry and metamorphosis to the pollination process performed by bees.

Nature Camp Our Nature Camp program set a record of the greatest number of campers to attend since 2008. The outstanding work of Sarah Sincerbeaux, Lead Nature Camp and Adult Programs, and her expert team of camp counselors led to an exceptional 424 campers. Children’s experiences ranged from outdoor survival training to archery instruction to hands-on discovery of nature’s amazing life cycles.

En Plein Air Painting Festival Fast forward to September 26 through October 3, when the first annual en Plein Air Painting Festival and competition took place. Hailing from diverse areas of New England and beyond, artists took to their canvases to capture the beauty of the Ottauquechee and Connecticut River watersheds as well as the surrounding forests and vibrant avian wildlife. Generously sponsored by Wild Apple of Woodstock, VT and the Mascoma Savings Bank, the first en Plein Air Festival generated such excitement and success that it was guaranteed to become an annual event at the VINS Nature Center.

Board of TrusteesVINS’ leadership was marked by the end of the longtime successful service of Greg Prince, who retired from the VINS Board of Trustees following nine years of unwavering dedication.

Eagle SculptureIn the world of art, which does indeed intersect with VINS – as illustrated by the marvelous results of the en Plein Air Festival – we acquired a uniquely beautiful eagle sculpture created by artist Wendy Klemperer. Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, Tom Ciardelli, made this possible by his generous donation, which inspired a special dedication of the sculpture to his father, Tom Ciardelli, Sr.

Ice Age Mammals on the MeadowIn keeping with the arrival of new works of art to the campus, VINS launched its first winter outdoor exhibit, “Ice Age Mammals on the Meadow,” featuring the artwork of Bob Shannahan and Wendy Klemperer. From November 2015 through April 2016, VINS displayed five life-sized sculptures: a woolly mammoth, a short-faced bear, a North American camel, a dire wolf, and an American lion. All of those who witnessed the gathering of these awe-inspiring creatures, representing the fascinating glacial period, were unusually impressed.

Old Pepper Place Nature ReserveVINS undertook the task of updating Old Pepper Place Nature Reserve and reducing our carbon footprint. With inexhaustible intelligence and resolve, Judy Callens, Senior Advisor, managed the installation of new solar panels on the main house and the construction of basic, energy-efficient facilities on the overall property.

Center for Environmental EducationOur Center for Environmental Education (CEE) achieved new heights under the leadership of Hannah Putnam, M.Ed., Director of the CEE. With expertise, experience, and a steadfast approach to all things environmental and educational, Hannah and her education staff brought in more than 440 teachers to train and 2,300 students to educate this academic year.

Hannah also taught professional development classes, with her colleague Suzan Locke, M.Ed., to teachers from the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire to Grand Isle, VT. They incorporated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education into the curriculum, developing activities and lessons that address the strengths needed in science classrooms as well as everyday life.

Nature StoreThe VINS Nature Store staff continued in the path of success with their role of skillfully selecting and selling merchandise, specifically, gifts from Vermont and New England. This year they have brought in local artisans such as Laura Zindel Design; Farmhouse Pottery, Woodstock, VT; and Starr Decoys, Weybridge, VT. Their wonderful efforts have resulted in increased sales for the overall fiscal year.

RISE Adopt a Raptor ProgramThe transformed Adopt-a-Raptor Program, now adroitly renamed as RISE (Raptor Information Support and Education), rolled out in February of 2016 with a fresh countenance of geographically named raptors and enlightening facts surrounding each bird’s injury, adaptations, and unique characteristics. The program continues to allow individuals and families to support VINS’ resident raptors and songbirds’ daily care as well as the education programs.

Annual Owl FestivalYet another feat accomplished this year was the historic number of visitors who joined us in February 2016 at the annual Owl Festival. With an already visible Facebook presence, deepened by our interactive social media expert Jordan Daley, VINS received an unprecedented 1,412 visitors – a new record reached on an unseasonably warm day. The community responded with extra help from the Hartford police department, and VINS’ volunteers rose to the challenge by adding a touch of grace and ease to a wonderfully welcomed day.

VINS VolunteersIn regard to the crux of VINS’ success, we thank our volunteers, in particular, Peter Mitchell, who is retiring this year. His dedication to VINS, and to the task of building perfection with his own hands, is indeed tireless. He meticulously crafted our new songbird aviary as well as numerous other on-campus structures throughout his long career at VINS. With admiration and best wishes, we say good bye to Peter and others, and welcome a new year.

— Charles F. Rattigan
