Tools of the tradeMt Archer RuinsBandA2Please join us on Sunday, April 17 from 9:00 to 11:00 for a work party at Mt. Archer Woods Preserve in Lyme to continue clean-up of the historic ruins area. Bring heavy-duty work gloves to pull and remove barberry and pother invasives from the around the stone walls. Bring loppers and any other tools that you think will be helpful.

The ruins are a little more than a half-mile in on the white trail. There will be refreshments!

Meet at the Main Parking Lot of Mt Archer Woods on Mt Archer Road in Lyme.
Directions from Rte 156: Rt. 156 north to Mt. Archer Road. Left onto Mt Archer Road. Go one mile on Mt Archer Road (bear left up the big hill). The parking lot is down a long driveway on the left, the 4th long driveway after you start up the hill. Look for the stone post marker that has “Mt Archer Woods Town of Lyme” written on it. It faces the road, so you can’t read it until you are on top of it. (If you get to 100 Mt. Archer Road, you have gone too far).
