Join us for this fascinating Zoom program about Indigenous ceremonial stonelandscapes in Connecticut. Dr. Lucianne Lavin will give an illustrated PowerPoint presentation of various stone structures left behind in our woods with a focus on the built ceremonial stone landscapes of the Indigenous populations that have inhabited New England for more than 10,000 years. While Native American stonework is widely recognized out west and in the south, those in New England have been largely unrecognized. As environmental stewards of our land, private and public, it is important that we learn to identify these structures so we can help protect and preserve them from future destruction.
Lucianne Lavin, PhD, is Director of Research and Collections at the Institute for American Indian Studies, a museum and research and educational center in Washington, CT. She is an anthropologist & archaeologist who has over 40 years of research and field experience in Northeastern archaeology and anthropology.
We will record this program for re-broadcast and post the link at a later date. The program will be moderated by Sue Cope, environmental director of the Lyme Land Trust. To help support the Lyme Land Trust, you may follow THIS LINK TO DONATE.

“Moving back to Lyme gave me new appreciation for how the blend of community, open space, and ecology that thrive here have influenced my life. Lyme Land Trust’s mission to preserve and promote these features for the public good is near and dear to my heart. The Lyme Land Trust is one of the institutions that makes Lyme a special place to live.”

Jim’s primary responsibility is to oversee stewardship of the 3130 acres spread across 112 parcels that are owned or managed by LLT. He comes to us with a variety of experiences spanning ecological research and restoration, natural resource and sanctuary management, and environmental education. Improving the outlook for native biodiversity has always motivated Jim, whether by working with people, land, or preferably both at the same time. Most recently he served as conservation biologist at The Connecticut Audubon Society. He holds a BS degree in wildlife and fisheries biology from the University of Vermont and a MS degree in conservation biology from the State University of New York in Syracuse. Jim lives in Middletown.
“It is a giant honor to have this opportunity to help build on the substantial success of the Trust in a part of the world as special as Lyme.”

I believe that preserving the land in its most natural state is very important to the physical and mental health of our planet. I love to learn and there is so much to learn in the woods of Lyme, about the natural world, history and beauty.”
