Farmington, CT, May 1, 2012: The Farmington Land Trust is sponsoring the first in a series of outdoor experiences called "A Stroll on the Land”. These events will be held on various Land Trust properties on the fourth Thursday in May, June, July, and September. 

The first "Stroll on the Land" will be Thursday, May 24th at 6:00 pm and will be led by renowned birder Milan Bull, the Director of Science and Conservation for the Connecticut Audubon Society.

We will walk the Land Trust’s Cowles Parcel, off Meadow Road and have the chance to see eagles, kestrels, rare ducks, and many small species.  Bring  your binoculars and bird identification books! The trail is level and an easy stroll along a very beautiful part of the Farmington River. 

The group will meet at the town boat put-in, at the parking lot on Meadow Road by the small stone bridge which spans the Pequabuck.  The parking area is just off the road.  If parking is full another lot is available where the public garden spaces are located just up the street and an easy walk to the Cowles lot.

This event is free and open to the public. No reservation required. All ages are welcome. No pets please.

In case of rain, event will be cancelled.
