A Multisensational Nature Adventure - Connecticut Trails Day

The Avalonia Land Conservancy’s Knox Preserve, which sits along the Stonington coast, is a four-season treasure trove of natural wonders, and it’s especially beautiful in June. As spring transitions to summer, noisy birds pause their northbound migrations to rest and feed for a while.

We’ll see an abundance of wildflowers in bloom, and a plethora of pollinating insects, from bees to butterflies that take advantage of the floral riches. We’ll hike Knox’s gentle trails—and even a historic graveyard—at a slow pace designed to enable everyone to use all of their senses on a journey of environmental discovery, co-sponsored with the South East Connecticut Community Center of the Blind, to experience, as fully as possible, the delights of nature. The walk will be amplified.

Leader Bruce Fellman is a veteran naturalist, teacher, and photojournalist with half a century of innovative and engaging experience that has enabled people of all ages, inclinations, and abilities to connect to the natural world.

We’ll meet at the preserve gate, which is across the street from the on-street parking on Wilcox Road.

Rain date: Sunday, June 7
