Dexter Perry
Fish and Game Warden
is gearing up for another hunting season.
Shhhhhh.
Hold on there.
If I'm not mistaken there's an American Bald Eagle perched up there on that limb. Wouldn't that just be a hoot! We don't get many eagle sightings around here that's for sure. Though there was that one up at Lake Bomoseen.
There's plenty of natural wildlife around Rural though. And plenty of places to roam about and enjoy nature.
That's one of the best things about Rural, Vermont. Nature isn't set apart from the rest of life. It's sort of like you step out into your dooryard and you're in it. Not like other places where you have to find yourself a park to feel grass beneath your feet. Or go to the zoo to see a fox.
No, here in Rural, nature ain't a separate thing.
