Contact Email: info@lymelandtrust.org
Celebrate the start of Spring and explore the new 100-acre Banningwood Preserve in Hadlyme.
Land Trust Vice President Don Gerber will lead the walk through the preserve. Also leading the walk, Land Trust Environmental Director Lisa Niccolai will talk about the flora and fauna of the property, Connecticut State Geologist Emeritus Ralph Lewis will explain its geology, and Lyme Selectman Parker Lord will discuss its history.
This hike will be moderately difficult because there are no trails. Waterproof hiking shoes or boots are suggested. Please do not bring pets. The walk is a preview to the more formal opening which will be announced after trails, which will be developed throughout the preserve, are completed. This event is open to the public. Members, non-members, Lyme residents and non-residents of all ages are invited. Bring your kids for a walk in the woods.

Parking will be available along the driveway at 19 Town Street (Route 82) about 100 yards north of Hadlyme Four Corners and just north of the bridge over Roaring Brook.
