The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut (TNC) announced they will offer their last public guided hike of the year on November 4th at its Lucius Pond Ordway-Devil’s Den Preserve in Weston. The “Last Light Hike” will last approximately 1.5 hours and travel just over a mile around the scenic Godfrey Pond. An exact start time for the late afternoon hike will be provided to those who register at https://forms.office.com/r/8V7bm9YJUb.

The guided hikes will be led by preserve staff members Cynthia Fowx and Ben Croll, who will talk about some of the seasonal changes happening in the forest as temperatures drop as well as best practices for enjoying the outdoors when the days shorten.

The Devil’s Den preserve covers more than 1800 acres in Fairfield County’s Saugatuck Forest Lands and is an important part of southwest Connecticut’s largest remaining contiguous forest. The diverse landscape of the preserve is home to numerous varieties of plants and animals and will provide important habitat for native species that have to move in response to the effects of climate change.
