OUT AND ABOUT TRIPS: OLSON WOODS NATURE PRESERVE
Friday, June 5th from 10:00am to 12:00pm. (Rain date June 12th).

The Darien Land Trust welcomes you to this hidden gem, a peaceful Nature Preserve with a beautiful lagoon. Elizabeth Mathus, Executive Director of the Darien Land Trust, will give an introduction to the land trust, share the history of the land donation and will identify some of the native and invasive plant and tree species found on the property. Please bring binoculars to spot a variety of ducks, the resident blue heron, birds of prey and painted turtles resting in the sun amongst other wildlife. Chairs will be set up beside the lagoon, situated only a few paces from the parking lot - this is a great way to get out into nature without any hiking! Snacks will be provided.

The preserve is accessible from Heather Lane, Darien. Call At Home In Darien at 203-655-2227 to reserve your spot and arrange transportation. We recommend travelling by reserving a spot on our van - the preserve can be hard to find and parking is extremely limited at the end of Heather Lane. Space is limited.

Congratulations to our volunteer Elizabeth McNiff who was recognized as an Outstanding Adult Volunteer by the Community Fund of Darien!
Elizabeth reached out to volunteer with us in 2024, as she wanted to help seniors feel connected to the community. Elizabeth was paired with a Darien senior who she has been visiting weekly. The daughter of the woman Elizabeth visits explained, “We are so lucky to have Elizabeth come visit my mom every week for almost 2 years. She is a constant in my mom’s life and she always comes with a big smile and her happy demeanor! My mom’s world is very small at 92 and people like Elizabeth really make a difference - more than they know I think!! My mom and I consider Elizabeth’s visit a very special part of the week and now she’s our friend!! We all celebrated my mom’s 92nd together too!!” We are so thankful to Elizabeth for being such a conscientious and trustworthy volunteer!
