New Haven Bird Club: Fresh Meadows Preserve Field Trip
Field Trip – REGISTRATION REQUIRED! Fresh Meadows Preserve, Cheshire – Corrie Folsom-O’Keefe
Fresh Meadows Preserve, Cheshire F483+WH, Cheshire, CT
Group 1: 8–9:30 a.m.; Group 2: 9:30–11 a.m.
Migrating birds looking for a place to rest and refuel on their southbound journeys are attracted to the variety of habitats within Cheshire Land Trust’s Fresh Meadows Preserve. With conifer groves, deciduous woodlands, and meadows, all located along the Mill River, it’s worth a visit. Expect a 1-2 mile walk on mostly level ground. Muck boots or other waterproof boots and footwear are strongly advised, especially if there has been recent rain. We will have two groups of 10 people each.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED! If you are interested in participating with the walk, please fill out the form below. Registrations are due by Tuesday, September 8 at 10 pm. Participants will be selected at random from the registration list, and you will be notified on Wednesday, September 9 if you are on the attendee list or wait-listed.
Meet at the information kiosk on Cook Hill Road. Park there or across the street on Corliss Lane.
Leader: Corrie Folsom-O’Keefe, 203-233-0535 or cfolsom-okeefe@audubon.org
