Kalmia Sanctuary

Kalmia Sanctuary

Keep Kalmia and Carry On Kalmia Sanctuary, Harwinton May 6, 2018 I'm going to do a rare thing here in Harwinton. I hiked all seven currently trailed properties on one (rainy) morning, so I'm going to sort of serialize the write-ups. As anyone who knows me, or has read a lot of this website, I wake up early. I … [Read more...]

Wigwam Brook Wildlife Sanctuary

Wiggin’ Out Wigwam Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Litchfield November 21, 2017 The town of Litchfield has always been interesting to me. Everyone is familiar with its fancy dan “downtown” area; with it’s restaurants and high-end shopping. But outside of that strip through the center of town, Litchfield gets a little … [Read more...]

HAS: Lewis Farm

Suffield HAS It! Lewis Farm, Suffield October 2017 Once in a while, I'll realize that certain things I've done for CTMQ are things that not many others have done. Though I'm sure many people have walked all three of the Hartford Audubon properties. So I'm not really sure why I'm writing this introduction … [Read more...]

HAS: Station 43

Ice Station 43 Station 43, South Windsor January 29, 2014 & A year later I wasn't expecting much from this particular wildlife sanctuary along the Connecticut River in South Windsor, so I didn't really allot all that much time for exploring. Turns out, I was sort of right - at least in … [Read more...]

Massport to Nachursetts: Wellfleet Bay

Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, Wellfleet August 2016 At this point, I've only been to two Mass Audubon properties (of 21). Regardless, I imagine this one at Wellfleet Bay has to be one of the best. The Nature Center is large, modern, informative, and quite impressive. And the trails out to the … [Read more...]

Massport to Nachursetts: Long Pasture

Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Long Pasture, Barnstable August 2016 The little center in Barnstable on the western end of Cape Cod is, I think, the newest of the Mass Audubon Centers. It's in a house that has been converted to... well, most of it appears to still be a house, but the living room is now a … [Read more...]

Mass Audubon Passport to Nature

Mass Exodus? Mass Audubon Passport to Nature Warning: This page/challenge is absurd for me to even consider. It’s in Massachusetts. I don’t “do” Massachusetts on this website. Yet, here I am. “Doing” Massachusetts. Sigh. Though, if you sully yourselves and click on the links or tags, please know I … [Read more...]

HAS: Greenstone Hollow Nature Preserve

What Did YOU Do on 11-12-13? Greenstone Hollow, East Granby November 12, 2013 I admit, I went to this little property up route 187 thinking it would be a “nothing” little walk. Of course, there’s not many miles of trail here and literally zero feet of elevation gain. I just wanted to finally get an … [Read more...]

137. Audubon at Bent of the River

Get Bent Southbury (Google Maps Location) August 14, 2009 Before Damian transitioned to a new in-town daycare (and before I started my new job), I decided to spend a couple weeks with him in order to save some money – and if you know how much daycare costs, we’re actually talking a lot of money saved. And so, … [Read more...]
