SUMMARY:Tree ID Hike
DESCRIPTION:Its always a good time to take a closer look at the trees making up our forest! \nJoin CFPA’s Education Assistant\, Julia Sonen\, for a walk and talk focused on the trees that characterize Connecticut’s forests. Over the course of 3 miles on the Cockaponset and Pattaconk Trails\, we will introduce a variety of trees and shrubs\, discuss the ecological roles they play\, and learn some great tree facts. Both absolute beginners and those with some experience will enjoy diving a little deeper into the world of trees. \nPlease be prepared to walk 3+ miles over uneven terrain with some elevation change\, and bring water and any snacks you might need.  Sunscreen\, long sleeves\, good hiking boots and a hat are always suggested. Well-behaved and leashed dogs are welcome.

SUMMARY:An Inordinate Fondness for Beetles–A Relaxed Ramble
DESCRIPTION:While we often find some to be damaging pests\, beetles provide many benefits to both humans and the environment that go unnoticed and unappreciated. Join Master Naturalist Lynn Kochiss for an easy-paced walk of 1½-2 miles to learn more about these amazing creatures and see what they have been up to at Highlawn Forest. Dress for the weather and possible wet trails. \nThis walk is part of the Nature’s Tiny Heroes Series\, a collaboration between CFPA and the East Hampton Senior Center. You are invited to attend either or both Beetles Programs.
