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

BRANFORD, CT — The Branford Land Trust is hosting two spring bird walks on Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday, May 13 and Sunday, May 14 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 walkers identify the birds by sight and by call.

"It should be a fun and exciting walk for both adults and families, rain or shine," the Land Trust says.

Walkers should meet in Stony Creek at the far end of West Point Road, 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.

The event is free and open to the public. Families are welcome, but no dogs, please. Please wear appropriate dress and comfortable, supportive walking shoes. Bring water. Walking sticks welcome. Visit www.branfordlandtrust.org for details.
