| | | | |  | | | We are excited to view a mother bear and her cubs scampering across the road but less enthused when meeting a huge one exiting our garage with a trail of upturned garbage cans and refuse behind it – or worse, finding your car windows bashed in from where a bear tried to access garbage bags inside that had been destined for the dump. All of the above occurred in this writer's neighborhood recently!
Tom Gieder, Wildlife Specialist with the USDA Wildlife Services, will lead a presentation and discussion about Vermont's black bears and what individuals and communities can do to better share your neighborhood with these curious and powerful animals. He will discuss bear biology, ecology, the factors that bring bears too close to our homes, and what we can do to prevent future conflicts with bears. Tom will be presenting on identifying bear attractants, securing attractants, and keeping bears wild. He will also discuss USDA Wildlife Services' new role in combating human wildlife conflicts and other services he provides to the public. Tom's advice has been a lifesaver for our family and the bears

| | | | | I recently saw the movie "SECRET MALL APARTMENT', which explores art and living a creative life, economics and gentrification,
community and healing. I was delighted to discover that the artist featured in the movie, Michael Townsend, will be in residence at

Step into the world of TAPE ART MEGA CORP, where creativity meets corporate chaos—and everyone's hired on the spot. For nine days this March BMAC welcomes the bustling headquarters of TAPE ART MEGA CORP, a playful, participatory art experience led by the acclaimed artists behind Tape Art and Secret Mall Apartment. Visitors are invited to clock in for a shift, create their own tape necktie, and help decorate the company's new Brattleboro HQ from top to bottom using nothing but imagination and rolls of colorful tape.
Inside this tongue-in-cheek office world, you might find yourself building cubicles, designing tape trophies, or helping your boss finish a "critical order for drawings of cats before the close of Q1!" You can join the fun hands-on or simply observe from your workstation—there's a role for everyone in this workplace gone wonderfully off the rails.
Part immersive installation, part comedy, and all community artmaking, TAPE ART MEGA CORP invites visitors of all ages to play, create, and laugh together as they help build a world out of tape. ABOUT TAPE ART Tape Art is the creative duo of Michael Townsend and Leah Smith, who use rolls of tape and a spirit of experimentation to transform everyday walls into large-scale, temporary murals. Based in Providence, Rhode Island, Tape Art has brought their distinctive brand of public art to communities across the United States and beyond—creating hundreds of murals and thousands of smaller works while sharing their medium in classrooms, hospitals, corporate boardrooms, and cultural spaces. Townsend, founder of Tape Art, is known for his inventive approach to making and his curiosity about how art lives in the world. (He once famously made a home inside a shopping mall.) Smith, a multidisciplinary artist and longtime collaborator, creates videos, installations, and sculpture projects when not pressing tape against walls. She has dedicated countless hours advocating for preserving the presence of artists in the face of urban development. Together, they blur the lines between street art, performance, and play—using tape to create fleeting works that spark wonder, conversation, and connection wherever they go. | | |

| | | | Maple Monday! Hello! It's Monday and time to share another recipe with you. Maple sugaring season is here. We had our first boil yesterday in the sugar house. It's always a good feeling to have the first boil under our belts as we head into the season. Stay tuned for more sugaring updates and pics! Now let's get cooking. We've had some warmer temperatures lately, but that doesn't mean that soup season is over! Actually, is it ever really over? This week we've added a rich and creamy soup to our recipe collection. Wild Rice Soup with Maple Syrup. Balanced by hearty grains and sweet maple syrup. Add a side salad and some crusty bread, and lunch is ready! Don't forget to mark your calendars! Our annual Maple Open House Weekend is coming up. Saturday and Sunday, March 21st & 22nd. Tour our sugar house, watch us boil (weather permitting), meet the crew, and sample the sweet stuff! As always, you can visit and shop our website for all your maple needs. Syrup, almonds, candy, cream, and sugar. Bring a taste of Vermont into your home. You shop, we'll ship.
