Mattabeseck Audubon Society: Birding Hike through Golet Farm Preserve

Join Deborah Evans, Mattabeseck Audubon Society board member, on a hike through Golet Farm Preserve.  This 32-acre parcel of land was donated to the East Haddam Land Trust by Thomas Smith.  It’s meadows, trees, and wetlands provide a wonderful habitat for birds. Its wetlands offer places to study amphibians, insects, and other wetland wildlife. Interior meadows and woodlands provide quiet respite. Wildflowers abound in the meadow closest to the Golet Farm Preserve parking area off Great Hillwood Road, and along wooded trails. Golet Farm Preserve connects with Heritage Park, the site of the East Haddam Senior Center, across Great Hillwood Road. To the west, Golet Farm Preserve borders Oak Grove Senior Housing property. To the south, it borders Town-owned land ant East Haddam Elementary School property.

We will bird in place in the garden area where we will hopefully see Kinglets and Warblers.  We will continue onto the trail loop which is about 1 mile long.

Please let Debbie know if you will be attending the hike by emailing her at evans57@msn.com.  Binoculars can be borrowed if you let Debbie know ahead of the event.

Meet at the parking area on Great Hillwood Road (next to 26 Great Hillwood Road home) East Haddam, CT.
