SUMMARY:Hike & Seek Babcock Ridge/Henne Preserves
DESCRIPTION:With the dogwoods and spring wildflowers in bloom\, and the birds singing and nesting\, there’s no better time for a walk than mid-May. But Avalonia’s Hike and Seek program makes a good walk better\, particularly for families who take part in this ongoing natural history scavenger hunt. For this family-friendly introduction to the Hike and Seek challenge\, we’ll learn how to use our smart phones to access basic information about what a “refuge” is\, or access more in-depth material for further study; a list of “targets” will direct us to search for\, photograph\, and share features like evidence of glaciers and great blue heron nests. Naturalist Bruce Fellman will help hikers search for clues. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Preston Nature Preserve Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Avalonia public is welcome to join naturalist Bruce Fellman as he leads a walk for North Stonington Garden Club at Preston Nature Preserve. \nFrom Bruce: “Everyone should take advantage of the flower power of this refuge\, which is just gorgeous right now\, thanks\, in large part\, to extensive plantings of Bee Balm and natural plantings of Joe Pye Weed\, fleabane\, goldenrod\, and Monarch-caterpillar bearing milkweeds. I was there on a walk-through yesterday\, and it’s awash with butterflies\, beetles\, dragonflies\, and those things called birds. Hope to see some of you there\, and here’s a little appetizer… a PNP specialty: a Snowberry Clearwing hummingbird moth working the Bee Balm.”
