Black Bears in Connecticut
Friday, May 16 at 6:30 PM - Shepardson Community Center (1172 Whittemore Rd, Middlebury) in the auditorium
This program is about black bears in Connecticut, all about them and how to live safely with them.
Connecticut resident Ginny Apple is a very well-regarded Master Wildlife Conservationist with the CT State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). She has expertise in many CT Wildlife species including Bears, Bobcats, Bald Eagles, Beavers and Coyotes. This will be the second presentation for the Middlebury Land Trust by Ginny Apple - her last one was here in March about "Things that go bump in the night" and the large crowd found it both entertaining and informative. We are so glad to have her back for a talk on one of her favorite subjects!
Living in a house surrounded by Peoples State Forest, she observes a large population of Black Bears and supplies field notes and photographs on them to DEEP bear biologists. Her affinity for this magnificent creature led her out west to participate in a Grizzly research mission in Montana and to become a Master Wildlife Conservationist with the State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP).
Annual Foote Path Hike to Celebrate CT Trails Day
Saturday, June 7th from 11 AM - 1 PM
Hikers will meet at 136 Breakneck Hill Road, and MLT representatives will shuttle hikers to the starting point at the Straits Turnpike entrance to the Sperry Preserve. If preferred, people can drive to that point and meet the other hikers at 11:15 AM, but should note that there is very limited parking at that location, and the road is a very busy one.
This hike is a bit over two miles, of moderate difficulty, as it covers terrain that includes wetlands, rocky and hilly terrain. This event is family and leashed dog friendly.
Following the hike at 1pm, the Pulawski family will be offering lemonade and cookies to participants at 136 Breakneck Hill Road, Middlebury.
Register at mlt@middleburylandtrust.org. For more information contact jswspotlight@gmail.com.
Trails Work Day
We are rescheduling our next work day from June 7 to the following Saturday, June 14.Please mark your calendar with the new date. We are moving the date to avoid a conflict with MLT's Annual Foote Path Hike to be held on Connecticut Trails Day which falls on June 7 this year.
