Earth Day 2022 Clean Water Walk

Date: Saturday, April 23  

Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Celebrate Spring, Earth Day, and Clean Water at the Benedict Benson Preserve 

The 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.
