On March 20th, Avalonia closed on one of its most exciting acquisitions in many years. The Tri-Town Ridgeline Forest, a 409-acre property straddling Griswold, North Stonington and Preston, is the largest fee purchase made in Avalonia’s 50-year history, bringing Avalonia’s total preserved acreage to exactly 4,000.
Come and join us at 91 Miller Road, North Stonington on Saturday, May 5th at 9 a.m. for an introduction to the property and a moderately easy guided hike. We should be finished by 11 a.m. Please bring a cellphone and water and email Sue Sutherland at suesutherland@snet.net with any questions.
Please register for the hike here
We look forward to seeing you then.
