On Saturday, May 19 from 3 to 5pm, John Anderson will give a talk and power-point presentation on the recently launched Sandy Brook Conservation Corridor Project, at the Colebrook Senior/Community Center in Colebrook Center. This conservation project seeks to protect land within the Sandy Brook watershed in the Connecticut towns of Colebrook, Norfolk, Hartland, Barkhamsted and Winchester, and Sandisfield and New Marlborough, Massachusetts. This pristine watershed has little land placed under protection, and landowners who aren't eager to have the watershed developed may want to learn about their options to preserve the wilderness for hunting, fishing, logging and healthy natural resources.
This talk is free and open to the public. Location: Colebrook Senior/Community Center, 2 School House Road, Colebrook.
On Sunday, May 20 from 10am to 2pm, John Anderson will follow up this talk with a botanizing field trip in Algonquin State Forest and the Sandy Brook Natural Area Preserve. Location: intersection of Sandy Brook Road and Colebrook River Road (Route 8) in Colebrook.
