SUMMARY:Help to Build Screech-Owl Nesting Boxes
DESCRIPTION:As part of a Girl Scout Gold Award Project\, you are invited you to join in with other members of the community to assist in building a total of 20 screech-owl nesting boxes.  The event will take place on the evening of September 16 from 6:00-7:30 at the First Congregational Church in Norwich and has been planned and organized by the prospective Gold Award recipient. If needed there will be a second day of building on September 30th (more details to follow) All are welcome! \nThe Eastern Screech-Owl is thought to be a species in gradual decline in the region.  These boxes will serve as enhancements to their natural habitat and provide a safe and secure nesting area for these small owls.  Our stewardship team has identified a number of suitable locations across Avalonia Preserves where these boxes will eventually be installed. Please REGISTER HERE for this free event! \n-This project is funded in part by a grant from the Connecticut Ornithological Society. \n  \n  \n– \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stewardship and Trail Walk at Pike Marshall Preserve in Ledyard
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Sunday morning\, September 29 from 9:00 -12:00 at Avalonia’s Pike Marshall Preserve in Ledyard as we continue our efforts at managing this beautiful 272-acre property!  \nMoss covered stones at Pike Marshall\nIn June of last year\, The Nature Conservancy transferred ownership of Pike Marshall Preserve to Avalonia and we\, along with our various partners\, are excited to initiate the next stages of preserve management.  This particular event\, sponsored in collaboration with Mike Marelli and the Ledyard Conservation Commission\, will focus on light maintenance of portions of the existing trail network.  This will have the combined effect of enhancing passive recreation opportunities\, emergency access\, and convenient passage to the interior of the preserve for stewardship activity. 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. \nParticipants will meet at the Burton Property to the rear of Ledyard High School and the walk and trail work will go from there through the town owned Burton property to Avalonia’s Pike Marshall Preserve\, focusing on clearing the causeway trail. Consider also setting aside time to hike the other trails and explore the diversity of habitats\, from forest\, to riparian\, and to ridge lines. \nVolunteers are asked to bring gloves\, sturdy footwear\, drinking water\, and bug spray.  If you have loppers or clippers feel free to bring them.   Please register so that we can better plan for this no-cost event. A confirmation email will contain additional event details including specifics regarding parking.  Please contact Director of Stewardship\, Tobias Glaza at tglaza@avalonialc.org for more information. \nREGISTER HERE \n
