Walk the yellow trail loop to see beautiful stone walls and evidence of an old quarry. Meet at the Brockway-Hawthorne Preserve Parking lot on Brush Hill Rd, about 1/2 mile south of the Hadlyme Country Market. Join Tori 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!
Kindly email vharris1391@gmail.com to register.
Tori is a Mom of two littles – Kade, 3 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!

John Pfeiffer, archaeologist and honorary member of Nehantic Native Nation, will talk about the Nehantics, indigenous people who have inhabited this land for thousands of years.
As Europeans moved into the lower Connecticut Valley in the 1630s, the Nehantics resided in the region. By the 1870s, the State of Connecticut declared them “extinct” and their reservation was sold. Yet their history was never over.
Dr. John Pfeiffer received his PhD in anthropology from the SUNY Albany and has worked in southeastern New England as an anthropologist, historian, and archaeologist for more than 50 years. He has aided local Native American groups (Schaghticoke, Mohegan, and Nehantic) in better understanding their cultural identity and unique histories.

Beneath the water’s surface, a bizarre and bewildering collection of critters is hard at work breaking down leaf litter, grazing on algae, and providing food for fish like Brook Trout. In fact, many lures and flies used by anglers imitate insects like mayflies, stoneflies and dragonflies, and what’s more, the presence of certain species can be an indicator of excellent water and habitat quality! Using nets, viewing containers, and magnifying glasses at a stream-side station, we’ll provide a close-up view of a variety of amazing insects while highlighting their adaptations for living in a very challenging environment.
We’ll contribute our observations to the
Wild Lyme iNaturalist Project to document biodiversity inhabiting Lyme’s protected areas. This program is co-sponsored by the Eightmile River Watershed Coordinating Committee.
Meet at the Banningwood Preserve parking lot and then we will walk about a quarter-mile to the bank of Roaring Brook.
All ages are welcome, but children must be accompanied by an adult.
