Last update: an hour agoWildlife & Hunting Rules: Vermont Fish and Wildlife says waterfowl blinds can’t be placed on state waters before the first Saturday in September, must be labeled, and must be removed by May 15 (Feb. 15 on Lake Champlain); it also warns that “claiming” spots with signs isn’t enforceable. Bear Research Funding: A $3,042 donation from the Vermont Bear Hound Association will buy two new satellite GPS collars to expand female bear tracking from 18 to 20, helping researchers study reproduction and how food sources affect it. Climate & Forests: New research in Nature Climate Change suggests tree species won’t all march uphill as the climate warms—water-management traits may push some species downslope instead. Conservation Land Protection: The Nature Conservancy in Vermont funded projects through the Vermont Biodiversity Protection Fund, helping protect 2,163 acres across Windham County towns including Athens and Marlboro, with public access planned. Public Health & Pesticides: California is canceling its last paraquat product and requiring remaining stocks to be sold or destroyed within two years, citing the Parkinson’s-linked herbicide’s harms—contrasting with federal delays. Solar Eclipse Watch: NASA says 23 states miss Wednesday’s Aug. 12 eclipse entirely; Vermont is in the partial-view list, weather permitting.
