The texture of Autumn. Fall colors are slowly fading as the leaves settle back to earth. This image was taken over our Nicholdale Farm parcel at the height of Fall Color in Connecticut. The wonderful weather of late October made every day a feast of color. It's not to late to get outside and enjoy the season. You are welcome at Nicholdale or our other parcels. Happy November 1!

A big thank you to Addy from Troop #101 for a successful Eagle Scout project at the Nicholdale Farm parcel! Addy planned, designed and managed the installation of a very needed bridge replacement at the western-most end of the blue Nichols Trail. Addy and her team also installed two new cedar benches on the property. See if you can find them! (Hint: one is in the shady corner of a field and the other is a premium seat for gazing at an impressive ancient maple tree.)

After a month of down time due to some minor issues, our 1958 Massey Fefguson 35 is up and running again. It's catch-up time on getting our trails in shape. Stop by our Nicholdale Farm property to see the results. We always enjoy a friendly wave 👋 when we are out mowing on the tractor.

The Deep Time Walk slated for tomorrow (April 18) has been rescheduled.
*************

You are invited to a Deep Time Walk at Nicholdale Farm
As part of Earth Day Week - Saturday May 16. We will meet at 9am at the parking lot on Leavenworth Road.

What is a Deep Time Walk?
A Deep Time Walk is a transformative journey through 4.6 billion years of Earth history via a 4.6 kilometer guided walk (about 3 miles). Each meter of the walk represents 1 million years in the history of our planet. Each millimeter a thousand years. Starting with the formation of Earth 4600 million years ago, we will walk through time visiting major milestones in the evoluiton of Gaia, our living planet. It is an invitation to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and advocacy for a regenerative Earth.

The walk will be lead by board member Bruce Nichols a trained Deep Time Walk facilitator. Bruce has previously lead walks at Nicholdale Farm and also at Sticks and Stones Farm in Newtown.

The walk will take between 2 1/2 and 3 hours. Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes. Bring water and a snack.
