See the tracks? Our educators discovered them recently while preparing for a school program on winter tracking. (There's a photo below of the creature that left them.)
Farm Staff Co-Author New Book
Shelburne Farms Vice-President Megan Camp and Director of Professional Development Jen Cirillo are co-authors of a chapter in the forthcoming book, " A Thinking Person's Guide to America's National Parks." Their chapter, "Lifelong Learning," also co-authored with UVM Professor Emeritus Tom Hudspeth, explores the expanding role of national parks in education for all ages.

The book will be published in April. You can pre-order your copy on Amazon or through Barnes & Noble. Also check out National Geographic's " How National Parks Tell Our Story."
Childhood Nutrition Act
Kids, producers, and communities win in the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee's draft of the Child Nutrition Act Reauthorization. The draft includes nearly all the policy changes recommended in the Farm to School Act of 2015, and doubles funds for the USDA Farm to School Grant Program: from $5 to $10 million! Thank you, U.S. Senator Leahy, for championing this bill. Read press release.
