The Night Episode 04/19/2021

The Night Episode "You can tell when the wood frogs have finally made it to the water because they're clacking away, doing their breeding song. Then you have the spring peeper choruses, and sometimes that's deafening. If you get really close to a spring peeper scene at night, it's so loud it actually hurts." Join Vermont Fish & Wildlife for a special Night Episode. We will discuss activities you and your family can do at night, as well as some of the department's work that happens after the sun goes down.

It might be a game warden who finds you Two game wardens talk about their experience with search and rescue in Vermont. "Usually when a person becomes a search and rescue situation, they thought they were prepared. They underestimated the situation where they were at, or circumstances changed on them and they didn't plan for it-- or couldn't have planned for it." -- Vermont Game Warden / K9 Spec.

Green Mountain Conservation Camp 10/27/2019

Green Mountain Conservation Camp A visit to one of two summer camps run by the F&W dept. "When I first came here I wasn't into hunting really. I was kinda into fishing. I kinda liked hiking. But my mom and cousins went here and they all loved it, so they had me go. And when I got here I was pretty excited because I found out that it was not all about hunting and killing animals. It was really just about being in the outdoors and helping the outdoors. The hunting -- it's not just about killing animals, it's about helping the animals to sustain themselves... I've actually gotten into hunting and trapping because of that." -- 14 year old GMCC camper Website: Facebook: Instagram: /episode/index/show/the-vermont-fish-and-wildlife-department-podcast/id/11794853
