Please join us Saturday morning, October 26^th from 9:00 -11:00 at Avalonia’s Barrett Preserve in Ledyard and be a part of our efforts at managing this beautiful 70+ acre preserve!  

Whether you are new to Avalonia or a longtime volunteer this will be chance to get acquainted with (or reacquainted with) some of the basics of preserve stewardship in an informal and friendly setting.  This particular event will focus on the removal of black birch trees that have begun to take over clearings and sections of early emergent forest. Consider setting aside time to hike the trails and explore the diversity of habitats, from fields to forests. 

Volunteers are asked to bring gloves, sturdy footwear, and drinking water.  If you have loppers, clippers and or handsaws feel free to bring them.  Due to the short notice nature of this event, there is no registration.  On street parking is available at Mt. Vernon Dr. or in the field at 904 Long Cove Rd.  Please contact Director of Stewardship, Tobias Glaza at [email protected] for more information.
