Please join us as we cut the ribbon on Avalonia’s first preserve in Norwich, the Cedar Wood Preserve, across from 183 North Wawecus Hill Road. We will have cider and cookies to help us celebrate! The dedication will be held in the parking lot.

Immediately after the ribbon cutting, there will be a guided hike. All are welcome.

Parking: Parking will be available on the Preserve’s small lot, on the road, and at an adjoining property. Avalonia volunteers will be present to direct traffic.

Accessibility notes
Communication access: For written material in alternative format or sign language interpretation, please contact Terri Eickel at [email protected]

Parking: For the dedication, the accessible space in the lot is reserved for a speaker (but a few other spaces may be available). If you park on the road, expect to have to traverse the steep, stony entrance to the lot (making drop-off in the lot advisable). Parking at the adjoining property has the advantage of a lawn leading directly to the dedication site (thus avoiding the steep parking lot entrance).

Trails: Access to the trails currently has some obstructions, including building materials for the forthcoming accessible boardwalk. The trails themselves are about five feet wide and relatively level, but the grass surface presents accessibility challenges. (Funding is being sought to create trails that offer maximum accessibility.)
