The Lyme Land Conservation Trust has just launched a fund raising effort to purchase 82 additional acres of forestland on the headwaters of Whalebone Creek, a key tributary feeding Whalebone Cove, one of the freshwater tidal wetlands that makes up the internationally celebrated Connecticut River Estuary system.

The proposed new woodlands wildlife refuge is to be named The Hawthorne Preserve and will protect key links for wildlife corridors that permit migration and breeding between otherwise isolated communities and families of many terrestrial species.
