This presentation is part of the Clarke Lecture Series hosted by the Unitarian Church of Montpelier.

Slow birding brings us into practice with the land as well as the birds and ourselves. Find out how to create your own Slow Birding Sanctuary in your yard that provides healthy and diverse habitats for birds and a place for you to sit and observe them.

The 2025 UCM Grace Clarke Lecture Series is underway! 

We are happy to announce this year’s three-part series which includes a 6 PM social time with light desserts and warm beverages, followed by a 45-minute presentation beginning at 6:45 PM. Lectures are given by Vermont environmental speakers (click here for details).

Each event costs $12 per person or $5 for youth under 18 years of age. Tickets, which must be purchased in advance either for separate events or the series, will be sold during Coffee Hour in the Vestry. Cash, check or credit card will be accepted. Click Here to Purchase Tickets Online (available up to 1-2 days before each event).

Notes: if you wish to solely attend the lecture, you may do so for free but entrance time is at 6:30, no sooner.

This series targets our Mission Statement “to protect the Earth, our home” and helps support the General Fund of the church.

We welcome offers of help to assist with set up, serving or clean up.  Please contact Mary Jane Ohlson, Peter Watt, or Abby Colihan to help with this annual endeavor.
