Bruce Fellman Leads Hike & Seek On Preston Nature Preserve
2019-08-17 10:00 - 12:30 | Preston Nature Preserve, Krug Road, Preston, CT, United States
The 56 acres of meadows, woods, and wetlands of the Preston Nature Preserve are at their prettiest in August, when the fields are dominated by Joe-Pye weed, various goldenrods, milkweeds, grasses, thistles, asters, and a remarkable expanse of bee balm, to name some of the botanical treasures. The abundant blossoms always attract an array of exquisite butterflies, from monarchs and swallowtails to fritillaries and skippers, with a collection of mesmerizing hummingbird moths thrown in for good measure. And that’s just the tip of the insect iceberg: PNP in August is alive with dragonflies, beetles, true bugs, bees and wasps, and other invertebrates.

Join naturalist Bruce Fellman on Saturday, August 17th, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for an exploration of the plants and animals — yes, it’s a great birding spot, too — that thrive along PNP’s gentle trails. Bring binoculars, hand lenses, cameras, notebooks, your natural history curiosity, and, if you have them, your kids and grandkids since this is a Hike & Seek area that we’ll also be using for a smart-phone-based digital scavenger hunt.
Registration is recommended, as space is limited, so click HERE to sign up.

This is a family-friendly excursion, and we’ll explore the woodland trails at a pace moderate enough to give the Preserve a close read and capture the experience in whatever form, from pen and ink on paper to digital drawings, photos, and text entered on a smart device.
Walk leader Bruce Fellman is a veteran photojournalist, naturalist, and documentarian who has kept and published a weekly Naturalist’s Journal in a number of local newspapers for the past 41 years.

Youth Winter Hike at TriTown
2020-01-20 14:00 - 15:00 | TriTown Forest Preserve, 91 Miller Road, North Stonington, CT, United States
The weather outside may be frightful, but a winter hike can be delightful, and to encourage you — as if Avalonia members needed any encouragement — we’re offering a special kid’s adventure on Martin Luther King Day, Monday, January 20th, from 2 to 3p.m. at the TriTown Ridgeline Forest Preserve in North Stonington. Naturalist and long-time youth leader Kelly Allen will lead 8 to 12 year olds and their adults in search of winter wildlife over relatively easy TriTown trails for about two miles, and if the weather cooperates, we’ll snowshoe a shorter route. After the trek we will enjoy hot chocolate at the Miller Road trailhead.
Participants will need:
Non-cotton base layers
Wool socks
Winter boots
Winter gloves
Winter hat
Waterproof weather appropriate outer shells, such as snow pants and winter jacket shell
A full water bottle and a high energy snack (candy bars with nuts are perfect!)
Snowshoes (extras if you have them)
Location: TriTown Ridgeline Forest, 90 Miller Rd, North Stonington trailhead
In the event of truly frightful conditions – bitter cold, steady rain, strong winds, more than moderate snow — the reschedule date is Sunday, January 26, 2 to 3pm.
For more information and to register, contact Kelly: rooted2wanderlust@gmail.com

Full Snow Moon Hike at TriTown
2020-02-08 18:00 - 21:00 | TriTown Forest Preserve, 91 Miller Road, North Stonington, CT, United States
Date: February 8, 2020
Time: 6–9 PM
Location: TriTown Forest Preserve, 90 Miller Rd. trailhead.
February’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!
Truly inclement weather like sleet, hail, polar vortex cold (below zero), blizzard winds and downpours will cancel.
Please bring the following items:

Snowshoes (extras if you have them), microcleats, trekking poles
Head lamp (with extra batteries!)
Non-cotton base layers
Wool socks
Winter boots
Winter gloves
Winter hat
Buff or balaclava
Fleece jacket as appropriate
Weatherproof outer shells, such as snow pants and winter jacket shell.
Backpack to carry your things
A full water bottle (that does not leak) and high-energy snacks.

A Vernal Pool Adventure, Babcock Ridge Preserve (CANCELLED)
2020-03-25 18:30 - 20:00 | Babcock Ridge, 113 Babcock Road, North Stonington, CT, United States
This event has been cancelled due to Coronavirus concerns. Avalonia trails remain open, but visitors need to use caution, avoid large groups, and use good judgement when meeting other hikers.
While winter has hardly lived up to its name, an amazing variety of frogs, salamanders, and aquatic invertebrates have spent the colder season in hiding. But with the arrival of spring, they’re coming back to life in the temporary wetlands known as vernal pools. At twilight, we’ll hike the trail to a group of vernals in Avalonia’s Babcock Ridge Preserve to search for such creatures as Wood Frogs and Spring Peepers, Spotted and Marbled Salamanders, and Fairy Shrimp. We might also hear the booming hoots of Barred Owls and the peents of Woodcock.

Bring a flashlight, wear warm clothes and waterproof boots, and don’t forget your spirit of adventure on this family-friendly exploration of a fascinating part of the natural world.
Walk leader Bruce Fellman has been introducing people to vernal pool life for almost half-a-century.
