Celebrate CT Trails Day 2014 with Prospect Land Trust!

 

Sunday, June 8,  2:00 p.m. This year the Prospect Land Trust obtained a special permit from the Regional Water Authority to explore the area of the Prospect reservoir. The “hike” is along access roads that are used by the RWA, so walking is relatively easy, as it is on level ground. This event will have two leaders, historian-in-residence Barney Kathan who will share his knowledge of the rich history of the land and surrounding area and naturalist-in-residence/educator Dr. Joel Meisel who will lead the group in identifying the flora & fauna as well as answer any questions concerning any of our field observations.

Meet leaders at the corner of Tress Rd. and Cornwall Ave, Traveling east on Rt.68 (towards Cheshire), turn right into Chatfield Road. At the end of Chatfield, turn right onto Tress Road. At the end of Tress Road, you will see a gate to the entrance of the reservoir. There is plenty of space for parking. Don’t forget your camera and comfortable walking shoes. No pets, please. No rain date. The hike is a part of the Trails Day weekend of the Conn. Forest and Park Association. For further information call Barney Kathan at (203) 758-0658.
