!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.
Led by the Lyme Land Trust’s Environmental Director, Jim Arrigoni, come explore the maze of channels in one of the most placid and wildlife-filled habitats in the lower Connecticut River. The Cove is a tidal, freshwater marsh that is home to ospreys, eagles, egrets, herons, ducks, swans, red-winged blackbirds & marsh wrens, as well as basking turtles and numerous native plants. Jim will speak to management challenges posed by invasive species and impacts resulting from recreation and development. This will be a relatively easy paddle for anyone with modest paddling experience. Free event with refreshments afterwards.
Register: jim.arrigoni@lymelandtrust.org or call 860-876-6168
limited to 15 watercraft
Life jackets required; binoculars, sunscreen, bug spray recommended.
