Branford Land Trust Annual Spring Bird Walks on Mother’s Day Weekend


Press Release Branford Land Trust

The Branford Land Trust is hosting two spring bird walks on Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12 beginning at 9 a.m. Local birder Chris Woerner will lead these popular walks along the Stony Creek Trolley Trail and into the Land Trust’s Vedder property. Woerner will help us identify the birds by sight and by call. It should be a fun and exciting walk for both adults and families.

We’ll meet in Stony Creek at the far end of West Point Rd. across from the Willoughby Wallace Library. You can choose the day that fits best into your schedule, or for birding enthusiasts, you can even come both days-since the birds we sight will vary on each day. Mostly flat terrain with one steep, rocky hill. Families are welcome, but no dogs please.

The event is free and open to the public. Please wear appropriate dress and comfortable, supportive walking shoes since some walking can be over uneven surfaces. Bring water. Walking sticks welcome.

The Branford Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, accredited by the Land Trust Alliance, established in 1967 to protect Branford’s open space and natural resources. Run by volunteers and supported by member families and businesses, the Land Trust manages and protects over 1,000 acres in more than 130 parcels and holds conservation easements on another 400 acres in Branford.
