The Saxifraga plays an important role in improving your property to benefit wildlife and plants.

On Saturday, June 18, from 2 to 4 p.m., join a tour of a private woodland in Lyme that illustrates active management to enhance wildlife habitat. Inspired by attending a Coverts Project weekend – an educational program offered by the UConn Cooperative Extension System – the owner implemented recommended practices for improving the land to benefit a wide variety of wildlife and plant species.

Come and see how these management concepts may be applied to your own property. The property manager will accompany us and explain the procedures followed. The walk will be about two miles round trip, mostly on logging roads and through meadows, with a few moderate hill climbs in the woods.

The event is sponsored by the Lyme Land Conservation Trust and the Town of Lyme.

Location and directions to the event will be provided after you register. Space is limited. To register, email openspace@townlyme.org with your name and the number of people in your party.

Rain date is Sunday, June 19, from 2 to 4 p.m.
