This Weekend: Branford Land Trust Spring Bird Walks

The following event was shared on the Branford Patch the community calendar. 

The Branford Land Trust’s Nature Explorer Program is pleased to present its annual spring bird walks with Chris Woerner along the Stony Creek Trolley Trail and into the BLT’s Vedder property on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11. Chris will help us identify the birds by sight and by call. It should be a fun and exciting walk for both youngsters and adults! Meet at 8:30 am in Stony Creek at the far end of West Point Rd., which is across from the Willoughby Wallace Library. These events are free and open to the public.

The Land Trust’s Nature Explorer programs hosts a variety of programs throughout the year. Most take place out-of-doors to familiarize people with some of the trails maintained by the Land Trust and the Town of Branford, and to learn about various aspects of nature found there, such as birds, trees, and other plants and animals. Other topics have included how to identify animal tracks, read a compass and make sun dials on the summer solstice.
