Stroll with Naturalist Bruce Fellman at Samuel Lamb and Forsberg Preserve

August 26, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Bruce Fellman will lead a stroll through the new Samuel Lamb and Forsberg Preserve on Shewville Rd. in Ledyard at 10:00 on Saturday, August 26.  The majority of this six-acre property is an old agricultural field which we’ll preserve as a wildflower meadow.  We will be identifying the wildflowers as well as the insects we find on them.  There are a number of interesting plants there and a very impressive display of joe-pye weed.
After we acquired the property last September, we brush-hogged it in December and removed the autumn olives that were present in the field. Other than mow a path, we have done nothing else.  Now we need to consider how best to encourage the diversity of wildflowers.
All are welcome!
The preserve is located at the intersection of Town Farm and Shewville Rds. in Ledyard.  Parking is available alongside Town Farm Rd.
