SUMMARY:August 22\, 2025 Astronomy Observing Session
DESCRIPTION:DATE COULD SHIFT BASED ON WEATHER– In the northeast\, a new supernova has appeared in a galaxy in Pegasus (pictured). In the south we still see the Milky Way stretching out overhead. In the east\, Cassiopeia begins to peek up above the tree line. If the weather goes against us\, we will move the event to the closest clear night and notify you. \nWe have several different telescopes that are on display including a 14″ Schmidt-Cassegrain housed in a permanent observatory. Inside the observatory\, views are afforded at the eyepiece and via real-time digital enhancement. Public sessions are co-facilitated by one or more of our growing cadre of astronomy cohorts: Mark Borton\, Roger Charbonneau Jr\, Jon Dean\, Jay Drew\, Deb Fennell\, Scott Mallory\, John Natale\, Lee Polikoff\, Parag Sahasrabudhe\, Mark Strollo\, Jerry Tardif and Alan Sheiness. \nYoung or old\, experienced or totally unfamiliar\, we look forward to exposing you to our uniquely dark skies here in Lyme. And if you have a telescope\, we encourage you to bring it out. The more\, the merrier. Just follow the guidelines in the pdf you receive when you RSVP. \nPLEASE NOTE:\nUpon registration you will receive a link to directions and observing session guidelines. Bear in mind\, observing sessions involve walking in the dark on uneven terrain. You should expect to encounter patches of grass\, ruts\, exposed stone\, etc. as is common throughout Lyme’s natural landscapes. Please wear appropriate footwear and have a red-light source handy. For those in need\, a loaner red light will be provided at the parking and at the main observatory.  \nFor questions or comments\, please contact us at astronomy@lymelandtrust.org. \nClear skies! \nPS\nIs it cloudy out? Then click here to see the full Trail 53 Astrophotography Gallery! \n\nThe Lyme Land Trust Astronomy Group aspires to inspire and pursue the advancement of knowledge of astronomy through public outreach programs including but not limited to observation events\, education programs\, and presentations about varied astronomical topics by our members and guest speakers.  \nIf you like these programs and you are not currently a Lyme Land Trust Member\, please consider joining us using the green Become A Member link at the top of the LLT page.

SUMMARY:Family Trail Time with Tori–Roaring Brook
DESCRIPTION:Take a walk to the refreshing waters of Roaring Brook where you may get your feet wet.  Map of Roaring Brook Preserve. \nJoin Tori Harris and family on the 4th Sunday of every month for a “mile-ish” hike geared towards families with children under 5\, but no age limit! \nKindly email vharris1391@gmail.com to register. \nTori is a Mom of two littles – Kade\, 4 yrs\, and Quinn\, 1 yr. Hiking and wandering in the local preserves\, has really given her family the safe space to let Kade run loose and has a calming effect on Quinn. Working full time\, volunteering in many organizations and finding time to enjoy the outdoors with the whole family\, can be tough\, but it is worth it! \nFor more information about the preserves and directions.

SUMMARY:August Nix the Knotweed Day
DESCRIPTION:Join our work party to learn about and remove invasive knotweed and other invasive plants\, and tend the natives that have been planted in their place. Or remove knotweed in your own neighborhood. We will tend and weed Reed Landing native rain gardens\, and install some more plants at Union Triangle on the corner of Rte 156 and Old Hamburg Rd. We are in our fifth year of tackling the knotweed using the “method of 3s”: cut knotweed down to the ground and remove the plant material; 3 chops each growing season (May\, mid-July\, and mid-August). The cuttings must be carefully disposed of since each little piece will regrow into a new plant. The knotweed has been highly reduced where we have used this method but we still have to cut back the ones that persist and new ones that come up from seeds. \nBring work gloves\, clippers or loppers. We’ll provide the bags! Bring your own water bottle. Snacks will be provided.  \nPlease register: (walk-ins welcome) Openspace@townlyme.org\n \nSponsored by the Town of Lyme\, Lyme Pollinator Pathway\, and Lyme Land Trust. \nJapanese knotweed is an invasive plant which crowds out native plants that pollinators and other wildlife depend upon for survival. For a brochure on Nix the Knotweed Method of 3s.
