Excerpt from Joint Bulletin, Vermont Botanical and Bird Club, Vol. 7: April, 1921 The writer firmly believes in leaving most plants where Nature has placed them, but when it is evident that certain plants, interesting for one reason or another, are doomed to destruction if left, then she as firmly believes in removing them to some other situation, where they will be able to grow - and perhaps multiply. During four years in this State the writer has found many such plants which would soon be destroyed, and which she would gladly have sent to the State Botanical Garden, had there been one. Doubtless, other members of this Club have had similar experiences. The Club has done much to preserve a record of the State's flora in the Herbarium. Will it not now provide, or urge the provision of, a home for living plants? The committee appointed at the last summer meeting of the Clubs to draft a petition to the State Legislature, asking that a law be passed to protect the wild flowers of Vermont, lost no time in getting to work. The result was that consideration was given by the General Assembly of 1921 to a measure to prohibit the extinction of stations of rare plants for commercial, or for other purposes. Because of the accessibility of Vermont's favorite botanizing centers, due to modern means of travel, a law of this kind is the only means of preventing total disappearance of some of the rarest plants from the State's flora. We are glad to again welcome to the bulletin an article which does not come under the head of either plant or bird study. It has been pointed out before that the bulletin offers a medium for the discussion of all phases of natural history of Vermont. Botanists and ornithologists predominate in this State, but there are many who would be interested in articles on the insects, reptiles and mammals. The fungi have been much neglected during recent years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Vermont Bird Club: Bulletin No; 1, May, 1906 The Vermont Bird Club has been in existence nearly five years. It was formed for the purpose of collecting and preserving information concerning the birds found within the state; of creating and encouraging an interest in birds; of promoting scientific investigations and of securing protection of all useful species. Since its organization the feeling has existed among the members that the proceedings of its meetings should be printed, thus giving them tangible and permanent form and allowing those who cannot attend the meetings regularly to keep in closer touch with the work of the Club. The final expression of this feeling was the authorization at the last winter meeting of the publication of an annual Bulletin. It is not the intention to publish a bird magazine, simply a condensed record of the proceedings of the meetings. The Vermont Botanical Club will issue a similar bulletin and these are to be made of like form that those who wish may easily keep and bind them together. A History Of The Vermont Bird Club. In July, 1901, at the annual field meeting of the Vermont Botanical Club a preliminary meeting was held at which steps were taken toward the formation of a State Bird Club. Previous to this there had been some discussion among members of the Botanical Club, who were also interested in birds, as to the advisability of forming such an organization. At this preliminary meeting a committee was appointed with Mr. Clifton D.Howe as chairman to formulate a constitution to be presented at a meeting to be held in conjunction with the annual winter meeting of the Botanical Club at Burlington the following January. Thus on January 25, 1902, a constitution was adopted and an organization effected. Prof. G. H. Perkins was chosen president, J. B. Ham, vice president, and G.H. Ross, secretary and treasurer. In 1903 Carlton D.Howe was chosen vice president. Since that year these officers have been continuously reelected. An executive committee of three who are elected annually aid the officers in arranging meetings, programs, and in other activities of the Club. At the January meetings officers are elected, other business transacted, and papers are read and discussed. As many members of the Bird Club belong also to the Botanical Club, the annual meetings are held at the same time and the joint session of the two clubs is a most interesting feature.
