Press Release, Branford Land Trust

Who goes there? Deer, coyote, rabbit? You never know what you’ll discover during the Branford Land Trust’s (BLT) popular Animal Tracking classes, led enthusiastically by naturalists Tom Cleveland and Chris Woerner each winter. Learn how to recognize animal footprints and other signs of their passage through the woods during two Animal Tracking Classes scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 27 and Saturday, Feb. 10 from 9:30 to 11a.m. at the Lake Saltonstall Recreational Area. We’ll hope for snow, but it will be fun even without it! This free program is fun for both kids and adults.

Expect moderate terrain, some sloping trails and inclines, rocky underfooting. Parents should be prepared to carry younger children if they get tired. Please wear appropriate dress and comfortable, supportive walking shoes. Bring water. Walking sticks welcome. No dogs for this event, please.

We’ll meet at the fishing area parking lot off of Hosley Avenue in Branford. The address is 200 Hosley Avenue and it is located approximately halfway down Hosley Avenue off of Route 1 to the south and Brushy Plain Road to the north.

Inclement Weather dates: January 28 and February 11. Watch BLT’s Facebook page or branfordlandtrust.org for possible schedule changes. For questions please call Tom Cleveland @ 203-981-9040.
