SUMMARY:Avalonia Close-to-Earth-Day 2022 Walk
DESCRIPTION:photo credit: Bruce Fellman \nCelebrate Spring\, Earth Day\, and Clean Water at the Benedict Benson Preserve\nOne of the critical precursors of the passage of the Clean Water Act\, the landmark federal legislation whose 50 years of making a difference we celebrate throughout 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 Saturday\, April 23rd\, 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. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Full Snow Moon Hike at TriTown
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 8\, 2020\nTime: 6–9 PM\nLocation: TriTown Forest Preserve\, 90 Miller Rd. trailhead. \nFebruary’s full moon is known as the Snow Moon\, and whether it rises over a leaf-litter brown or dazzlingly white landscape\, the TriTown Forest Preserve in North Stonington is a wonderful place to enjoy the mid-winter lunar show. Join veteran naturalist Kelly Allen on Saturday evening\, February 8th\, for a nighttime adventure that will be a combination\, depending on your inclination\, of pre-Valentine’s Day romance and bracing trek. Given the difficult terrain and the darkness\, you’ll want to leave the kids at home. Our route\, starting at the trailhead\, will cover a distance of about 2.5 miles and follow the Blue loop west up and over Lambert Mountain and back down the west Yellow trail along the ridgeline—a trek definitely not for the faint-hearted (or anyone out of shape). If we’re lucky\, we might even hoot up some owls! \nTruly inclement weather like sleet\, hail\, polar vortex cold (below zero)\, blizzard winds and downpours will cancel. \nPlease bring the following items: \n\nSnowshoes (extras if you have them)\, microcleats\, trekking poles\nHead lamp (with extra batteries!)\nNon-cotton base layers\nWool socks\nWinter boots\nWinter gloves\nWinter hat\nBuff or balaclava\nFleece jacket as appropriate\nWeatherproof outer shells\, such as snow pants and winter jacket shell.\nBackpack to carry your things\nA full water bottle (that does not leak) and high-energy snacks.\n\nphoto by Bruce Fellman

SUMMARY:A Conservation Conversation

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.”
