FreeJune 1 @ 7:00 am – 10:00 am
The Chippens Hill area of Bristol has historically been farmland. The Environmental Learning Centers of Connecticut and the city of Bristol are working to save some of the habitat where Bobolinks, Meadowlarks, and Grasshopper Sparrows have been found. Join Jack Swatt for a tour of these areas in search of these declining species. Bring plenty of water and be prepared to walk in sunny field habitat that may contain ticks.
Meet at the Bristol Dog Park parking lot at 400 Perkins Street in Bristol, just north of the intersection with Pinehurst Road.
