SUMMARY:Honoring Earth Day with a Wild Flora Walk at the Benedict Benson Preserve
DESCRIPTION:  \nLed by Avalonia naturalist Bruce Fellman\, trek through the Benedict Benson Preserve to watch its uplands\, centerpiece stream\, and wetlands come to life with greening ferns\, mosses\, and wildflowers\, from the rare Hepatica to the ubiquitous marsh marigolds. \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nOne of the critical precursors of the passage of the Clean Water Act\, the landmark federal legislation whose 50 years of making a difference was celebrated in 2022\, is Earth Day\, the consciousness-raising holiday for the planet that began in 1970. As part of Avalonia’s ongoing tribute to the CWA\, join naturalist and guide Bruce Fellman as we wade into moving waters\, figuratively\, if not literally\, at the Benedict Benson Preserve on Sunday\, April 21\, shortly after Earth Day\, from 10 a.m. until noon\, in North Stonington to watch the refuge’s wetlands and its centerpiece stream come to life: a tribute to wise stewardship. \nIn keeping with our theme\, we’ll pay close attention to the area around Lantern Brook\, a delightful woodland stream that flows through the heart of the preserve and is wonderfully photogenic as it tumbles down a boulder field left behind by the glaciers that shaped this land. The area around the brook is paradise for botanists interested in mosses\, ferns\, lichens\, and wildflowers\, and while there are certain to be such stalwarts as Wood anemones\, a number of violets\, and Marsh marigolds in bloom\, there’s one botanical gem known as the hepatica that we’ll scramble up a favored hillside to seek out. Hepaticas thrive in specific\, rather “sweet” soil conditions unusual in our woods\, but Benson has the right stuff in one area. \nThe Preserve features a typical Southern New England post-agricultural-abandonment upland forest dominated by oaks\, beeches\, birches\, and hickories\, many of them fully mature. Some are home to striking Pileated Woodpeckers\, while others support a wide array of hardwood-forest songbirds\, the most intriguing of which is the Cerulean Warbler. This stunning bird\, which is listed as a Species of Special Concern in Connecticut\, has been seen and heard at Benson and the surrounding area\, and is one of the treasures we’ll be looking for as we walk the approximately mile and a half trail system in search of signs of spring. \nThe trailhead for the Benedict Benson Preserve is located at 100 Swantown Hill Road in North Stonington.  A small parking area is on the West side of the road and there’s more parking on either side of Swantown. For more information and to register\, visit the Events Calendar of Avalonia’s website: avalonia.org/events/ Please note: parts of the trail are pretty rugged\, so while my pace is always family-friendly\, the terrain\, particularly our scramble up a rocky hillside in search of wildflowers\, might not be suitable for small kids and the occasional elder. You’ll want to wear waterproof hiking boots\, and trekking poles might be a good idea\, too. Bring water and an energy bar\, and\, of course\, binoculars and cameras.  Don’t hesitate to call or email: 860-599-4867\, or fellnature@sbcglobal.net. \n*** \nAccessibility Note \nAvalonia Accessibility Statement: https://avalonia.org/accessibility-for-people-with-disabilities-statement/ \nAccessibility point person: Mary Anne Sherman\, 860-884-3500 or avalonialc@yahoo.com \n  \n  \n*** \nThe featured image is by Jodi Williams taken at Benedict Benson Preserve. Jodi received an Honorable Mention in the Wildflowers category in Avalonia’s 2023 Photo Contest.

SUMMARY:INFORMATION SESSION on ballot initiative #2
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends of Groton’s Environment\,\nNow\, with only 25 days remaining until Nov. 6th when we vote on Ballot Initiative #2\, we’re inviting you to attend an information session to learn more about the reasons for\, and benefits of\, this amendment to Connecticut’s constitution.\nPlease\, mark your calendar and join us for an\n \n\nINFORMATION SESSION\nand Q & A\nGroton Town Hall Annex\n134 Groton Long Point Rd\, Groton\n7:00 – 8:30\, Thursday\, October 25th\nLed by Eric Hammerling\, Executive Director of the Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA)\nSponsored by Groton Conservation Advocates\n\n\n \nWe are thrilled that Eric found time in his packed schedule to speak to us about the amendment because\, in all honesty\, there is no one in the state more qualified to speak about this amendment initiative than Eric. Eric Hammerling has served as CFPA’s Executive Director since May 2008 and is the lead advocate for CFPA at the state legislature where he works primarily on forestry\, recreation\, education\, and trail-related policy issues. (The CFPA\, founded in 1895\, was the first private\, nonprofit\, conservation organization to be established in Connecticut “to develop public appreciation of the value of forests\, and of the urgent need for preserving and using them rightly.”) Recently\, Eric has been advocating tirelessly in support of the constitutional amendment to protect our state public beaches\, parks\, forests\, landmarks\, and wildlife management areas from being given away by the legislature without adequate public input. He founded and is serving as treasurer of the constitutional amendment advocacy organization\, Protect CT Public LandsCoalition\, Inc.\n \n\nThank you and we’ll see you at the Town Hall Annex on the 25th!\n \nLiz Raisbeck and Eugenia Villagra\nCo-Chairs\, Groton Conservation Advocates

SUMMARY:Stonington Resiliency Plan Kick-Off Event
DESCRIPTION:The Town is excited to announce the public event to kick off its Municipal Coastal Resilience Plan on Thursday October 20th 6:00pm at Mystic Aquarium. The event will feature a children’s activity area\, food and interactive sessions to gather public feedback. \nThe focus will be on how Stonington prepares for sea level rise and extreme weather so our community continues to thrive for our children and future generations. The Town and Arup consulting team will present survey findings and other information. Stonington has a long and proud history of settlement dating back to 1649 and the Town is planning for it to thrive well into the future. Current changes in weather patterns and projected sea level rise present significant challenges for our coastal community and the Town is starting to plan in order to better understand the extent of risks we will face in the future and to identify things we can do to adapt and respond to these risks. This resiliency plan is about being wise\, planning ahead\, and protecting people\, places\, and investments. Broad public engagement in this resiliency planning will provide the best chances for success for our efforts and the best use of public and private resources. \nVIEW FLYER
