Families are invited to The Connecticut Audubon Society’s Center at Fairfield on Saturday, June 3 for a free, one-hour nature walk from 1 to 2 p.m. This is one of more than 200 statewide hiking events celebrating the 2017 Connecticut Trails Weekend and the American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day®.
On our guided nature walk in the Center at Fairfield’s Larsen Sanctuary, we’ll explore ponds, a garden marsh, a temperate deciduous forest, and a meadow and swamp while observing bird habitats. We’ll see ecological points of interest and discuss efforts to conserve and protect them. The terrain is easy to moderate. In addition to the walk, participants will receive 20% off the price of field guides and walking sticks in the Center’s Nature Store.
Pre-registration is required. Call 203-259-6305, ext. 109 to reserve your spot. The walks will only be cancelled in the event of heavy rain.
National Trails Day® is a nationwide hiking initiative to encourage the public and outdoor enthusiasts to seek out their favorite trails while participating in numerous events held in each state. View the complete list of 2017 state events at: www.ctwoodlands.org/ct-trails-weekend.
