Exploration of Pond Life at Boyd Woods Sanctuary
Date: Sunday, April 27, 2025
Time: 1:00 p.m.
Location: Boyd Woods Audubon Sanctuary, Litchfield, CT
In spring it’s often the arrival of birds and the budding vegetation that captivate us. But nature is on the move underwater too. Join the LHAS Nature Explorers at Boyd Woods to look for all the aquatic critters coming to life in the ponds and streams. Catch a glimpse of frogs and spotted salamanders. Listen for spring peepers and wood frogs. Maybe spot a Jack-in-the-Pulpit or a lovely trillium. Avid naturalists Ann Orsillo and Josh Szwed will lead participants through the fascinating metamorphosis going on in the pond. Come ready to get your hands dirty. Wear waterproof footwear for pond exploration. FUN! Appropriate for kids and adults. Meet at the Boyd Woods parking lot on Route 254 in Litchfield. Heavt rains cancels
