From a historic Industrial site to an emerging marsh eco system dodge paddock right off wall street in the Stonington Borough has gone through extensive change in its long history. Once used in the 1800s as a bushy shorefront distribution point now turned into a shorefront preserve owned by @avalonialandconservancy open for all to visit.

💦 Wetlands are crucial ecosystems — they provide habitat for thousands of species of aquatic plants and animals. They also provide flood protection and control shoreline erosion, especially critical as the effects of climate change worsen.

By supporting Avalonia, you contribute to leaving a legacy of protected land and thriving ecosystems for future generations. 🌳
