Woody Plant Identification Field Day at Three Mile Bridge Tuesday, July 28, 2026, 2-4pm
Woody Plant Identification Field Day at Three Mile Bridge Tuesday, July 28, 2026, 2-4pm
Join Vermont Woodlands Association, Vermont Forest, Parks and Rec, Ducks Unlimited and the Vermont Association for Wetland Science (VAWS) for a field day at Ducks Unlimited's 3 Mile Bridge site in East Middlebury.
We will gather along the edge of the property and Creek Rd to start, where we will discuss the history of the land use and the tree planting project that Ducks Unlimited has established. From there we will venture into the field to learn about tree and shrub identification (including willow, Red Ozier Dogwood, Silky Dogwood, Viburnum and more). Along the way we’ll learn about DU's management of nonnative species, use of monitoring wells to track hydrology, the definition of wetlands and what that means for tree planting, as well as other floodplain considerations.
This event includes walking on uneven and perhaps soggy ground. Please dress for the conditions and the weather, including tall boots.
This event is free to all, but registration is required via the VWA website: Woody Plant Identification Field Day — Vermont Woodlands Association
