BEEC – 1221 Bonnyvale Road, West Brattleboro, VTOver the course of an hour, you’ll follow a half-mile trail of meadow and forest lit with flickering torches. Along the way, you’ll encounter a dozen theatrical scenes, interact with characters, and piece together a quest. At the summit of Heifer Hill, the mystery culminates with firelight, revelation, and discovery. 
Each year, more than 500 people join us under the stars for this enchanting experience. The Forest of Mystery isn’t just magic—it’s BEEC’s biggest fundraiser, supporting BEEC’s nature-based school programs, youth camps, wildlife rehabilitation, and community events all year long.
