SUMMARY:Trail work at Reed Memorial Woodlands and Mitchell Preserve in Preston and North Stonington!
DESCRIPTION:Avalonia and the Sustainability Team of Preston invite you join them at the Reed Memorial Woodlands and Mitchell Preserve in North Stonington/Preston\, on Saturday May 10 from 9-12.  \n \nSometimes simple tasks are the most enjoyable! Take in the lush greenery fed by Main Brook\, the ingenuity of the beavers\, and breathtaking views from atop cedar dotted knolls all while helping us cut back overgrowth and revive and re-blaze sections of the trails. Whether you are new to Avalonia or a longtime volunteer\, this will be a chance to get acquainted with (or reacquainted with) some of the basics of preserve stewardship in an informal and friendly setting.  \nVolunteers are asked to bring gloves\, sturdy footwear\, and drinking water. If you have loppers\, clippers and/or handsaws\, feel free to bring them. While not required in order to participate\, please consider registering here. This will help us in the planning process. A confirmation email will contain additional event details including specifics regarding parking.  \nHope to see you on the trails!

SUMMARY:Rocky Road: A Geological Exploration of Pine Swamp Wildlife Corridor in Ledyard
DESCRIPTION:You’ve heard of tree-hugging…but boulder-hugging? \nJoin geologist Mary DiGiacomi-Cohen for a tour of Pine Swamp Preserve that explores the physical characteristics and geologic history of the area. We’ll learn to understand and apply terms like glaciation\, dirt machine\, shear zone\, meltwater deposition\, and eolian processes. We’ll deploy several of our senses\, including sight\, touch\, and taste\, during our exploration of this special environment.  \nSaturday\, May 10\, 2025\n10 am – 11:30 am\nRain date: Saturday\, May 17\, 2025 (same time) \nParticipants will have the opportunity to get a little gritty\, get a handle on a gneiss vug (huh?)\, and\, yes\, hug a boulder. \nPost-tour reception will include beverages and gluten-free Rocky Road brownies. (No rocks will have been hurt in the making of these brownies!) \nParking: Room for up to three vehicles in a small lot. Additional parking is available on the side of the road on Stone Court (diagonally across from the lot). \nAccessibility Note: \nParking: No accessible parking. \nTrail: Trail begins at lot. Surface ranges from stony to packed earth and grass\, with some roots and widths of two feet to six feet. Slope varies from level to some short\, steep areas with slope as high as 1:4 (one inch of slope for every four inches of travel). An approximately 30 foot area may require some scrambling.  \nCommunication: Walk will be amplified. Tour will include rich verbal description.  \n< The sign language interpretation for this event has been cancelled > \n  \nFor more info\, contact: accessibility@avalonialc.org (860) 884-3500. \nRegister: \nFill out my LGL Form!
