Today’s weekly Tuesday 10 am gathering of the New Hampshire and Vermont Outdoor Recreation for Seniors, nicknamed ORFS, is at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science, identified as VINS, along the banks of the Ottauquechee River in Quechee, VT. Its neighbor is the picturesque Quechee Gorge on Vermont Route 4.
VINS is located on 47 acres of forest, meadow, and rolling hills, and features state-of-the-art rehabilitation enclosures that houses hawks, eagles, falcons, owls, and other birds of prey. Plus turtles and snakes. Today the raptors will demonstrate their flying skills to us.
VINS in October 2019 opened their awesome $1.6 state-of-the-art handicap accessible Forest Canopy Walk that provides treetop views 50 plus feet above ground. This magnificent walkway is breathtaking.
Thank you very much to the staff and volunteers of VINS. Your hospitality, education sessions, tours, and your beautiful facility are very much appreciated.
