The Herrick’s Cove Wildlife Festival connects thousands of residents and visitors with the natural beauty and ecological richness of the Great Falls region. Through guided walks, wildlife demonstrations, educational exhibits, and interactive outdoor activities, the event creates meaningful opportunities for people of all ages to explore local ecosystems and learn from conservation leaders.

Beginning in 2026, the Great Falls Regional Chamber of Commerce joins Ascutney Mountain Audubon Society, Great River Hydro, and Vermont Fish & Wildlife as co-organizers of this long-running celebration of environmental stewardship. Since 2000, the festival has attracted nature enthusiasts, families, educators, and outdoor recreation supporters from across Vermont and New Hampshire
