!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

At only 7.5 acres, Roaring Brook Preserve may be the smallest preserve in Lyme Land Trust’s portfolio but it’s also one of the most dramatic examples of what was left in coastal Connecticut after the last glacier retreated from this area some 17,000 years ago. Come for a narrated walking tour of this geologic gem on Sunday, November 13th

Parking is available at Hadlyme Hall. You don’t need to do the walk to hear the presentation at the Hall! Non-members are welcome to both.

2 pm– Walk at Roaring Brook Preserve with Lyme Land Trust’’s (LLT) forest ecologist Tony Irving and Hadlyme’s Ralph Lewis, former CT state geologist. Meet at the preserve entrance on Day Hill Road. 
3 pm– Talk at the Hadlyme Hall. Come to a presentation to learn the backstory of Roaring Brook and how it almost fell to the developer’s bulldozers before LLT stepped in with funds to acquire it at almost the last moment.

No need to register.
