Trailblazers-Walk Mt Archer to Pickwick’s Preserve

Date: Tue January 6, 2015
Time: 10 am
Place: Meet at Mt Archer Preserve Parking Lot, Mt Archer Road, Lyme
Contact Email: hstyler@comcast.net
!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

Walk in the woods5Join us for this moderately easy walk in the woods. Everyone is welcome.

This week’s hike will explore Pickwick’s Preserve to Mt Archer Woods, led by Humphrey Tyler, Lyme Land Trust board member. The hike is a little more than 2 miles – about an hour long. Meet at the Mt Archer Woods Parking Lot. We will arrange to have enough cars left at Pickwick’s to ferry everybody back to the starting point at Mt. Archer parking lot.

Rain or snow cancels. Let Humphrey Tyler know if you plan to attend the walk so that he can contact you in case of cancellation. hstyler@comcast.net

Directions: 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).

TrentonYoungsThe 3rd Annual Lyme Land Conservation Trust’s “Celebrating Lyme’s Beauty” Exhibition will be shown in the Goodman Gallery of the Lyme Art Association and will run concurrent with the LAA’s annual holiday exhibition, Deck the Walls. A festive opening reception will be held on November 21, 2014 from 5-7pm. On exhibit will be landscapes created in October 2014 during the “Celebrating Lyme’s Beauty” Paint-Out. The Paint-Out event continues the plein air tradition established by the early American Impressionists who founded the Lyme Art Colony over a hundred years ago.

The landscapes will highlight the natural beauty of the Lyme Land Trust’s 102-acre Banningwood Preserve. The clear waters of Roaring Brook flow through the middle of the Preserve. Dramatic stone ledges, once quarried to provide stone for nearby Gillette Castle, rise over the landscape. Features include dramatic vistas, lush meadows, cedar groves, quarry pools and tree canopies.

This event is a fundraiser for the Lyme Land Conservation Trust, with a portion of each sale donated to the Trust to further its mission to preserve Lyme’s natural beauty for the public benefit.

Opening Reception: Friday, November 21, 5-7 pm
Gallery Hours: Monday – Saturday, 10am – 5pm, Sunday 1 – 5pm

TrentonYoungsThe 3rd Annual Lyme Land Conservation Trust’s “Celebrating Lyme’s Beauty” Exhibition will be shown in the Goodman Gallery of the Lyme Art Association and will run concurrent with the LAA’s annual holiday exhibition, Deck the Walls. A festive opening reception will be held on November 21, 2014 from 5-7pm. On exhibit will be landscapes created in October 2014 during the “Celebrating Lyme’s Beauty” Paint-Out. The Paint-Out event continues the plein air tradition established by the early American Impressionists who founded the Lyme Art Colony over a hundred years ago.

The landscapes will highlight the natural beauty of the Lyme Land Trust’s 102-acre Banningwood Preserve. The clear waters of Roaring Brook flow through the middle of the Preserve. Dramatic stone ledges, once quarried to provide stone for nearby Gillette Castle, rise over the landscape. Features include dramatic vistas, lush meadows, cedar groves, quarry pools and tree canopies.

This event is a fundraiser for the Lyme Land Conservation Trust, with a portion of each sale donated to the Trust to further its mission to preserve Lyme’s natural beauty for the public benefit.

Opening Reception: Friday, November 21, 5-7 pm
Gallery Hours: Monday – Saturday, 10am – 5pm, Sunday 1 – 5pm
