SUMMARY:Cinco de Mayo Hike
DESCRIPTION:On March 20th\, Avalonia closed on one of its most exciting acquisitions in many years. The Tri-Town Ridgeline Forest\, a 409-acre property straddling Griswold\, North Stonington and Preston\, is the largest fee purchase made in Avalonia’s 50-year history\, bringing Avalonia’s total preserved acreage to exactly 4\,000. \nCome and join us at 91 Miller Road\, North Stonington on Saturday\, May 5th at 9 a.m. for an introduction to the property and a moderately easy guided hike. We should be finished by 11 a.m. Please bring a cellphone and water and email Sue Sutherland at suesutherland@snet.net with any questions. \nPlease register for the hike here \nWe look forward to seeing you then. \nPhoto: A large chestnut oak sits high on a ridge on Avalonia’s 409-acre Tri-Town Ridgeline Forest. The oak is but one example of the unusual flora and fauna found on this extraordinary land. The preserve is the conservancy’s largest acquisition in its 50-year history. Photo by Kelly Allen

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.”
