The upper reaches of the Eightmile River.

Join Pat Young and/or Anthony Irving Saturday, June 29, from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Lyme Public Library Community Room, 482 Hamburg Rd. in Lyme as they explain how to manage property to improve the health of the watersheds that lead into Long Island Sound.

As members of the Eightmile River Wild & Scenic Watershed Coordinating Committee, Young and Irving are passionate about the enormous diversity of habitats in Lyme that provide support for a wide variety of birds all year round.

This free event is part of a Bird Workshop Series offered by the Lyme Forest Block Conservation Project—an initiative launched by Audubon Connecticut, in partnership with the Town of Lyme and the Lyme Land Trust, the Eightmile River Wild and Scenic Coordinating Committee, The Nature Conservancy, and other local land trusts, and municipalities.
