Salem Sound Coastwatch and expert birders, Greg Power and Robert Buchsbaum, are offering a workshop designed to enhance your bird observation and data collection skills and introduce our new program, “Salem Sound Birdwatch.” This training is essential for anyone interested in volunteering to monitor wintering waterbirds for Salem Sound Coastwatch. You will be guided through the key features of the eBird mobile app, learn how to efficiently log sightings, and navigate the app’s functions. We will also cover an in-depth review of Salem Sound’s winter waterfowl and our long-term data (1988-2019). You will learn practical tips to identify common waterfowl and understand the differences in plumage. This new initiative aims to document an accurate count of migratory winter waterfowl within the Salem Sound, providing insight into the health of the Sound and various population trends.

In the winter, many people hunker down to stay indoors, but at Appleton Farms, we make the most of the cold, quiet season. There is no better place to spend winter farm days than in exploring in the snow and learning to love the outdoors in all seasons! This program is for kids who are looking to make friends, explore the forests and fields of the farm, and learn about life in New England in winter, including learning about a type of winter farming – maple sugaring! Every day will include an outdoor adventure of hiking, snowshoeing, or other farm explorations.

This is a school vacation drop-off program running Monday-Friday 9am-3pm, February 17-21. Campers should be prepared to spend days mostly outdoors and will need appropriate clothes including hats, gloves, and boots. We will have snack and lunch on the farm (families provide their own campers’ food). A parent handbook will be provided to all parents and registration requires submission of child’s health forms, per licensing requirements. This program is licensed by the Ipswich Board of Health.
