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.

The early history of European agriculture and land use is epitomized here going back to the mid-1600’s. There are also some fine examples of glacial activity and its impact on colonial land use practices. Our hike will take in portions of the Jewett Preserve, about three miles all together.

Walk along the beautful Roaring Brook and romp in Diana’s field. Map of Banningwood Preserve. 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 with time preference.
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!
