Trails of Wilton Hiking Club took on Weir Preserve yesterday afternoon! 🖌️🍁🥾

Wilton Land Trust teamed up with Wilton Library to guide this hike along Pond Trail and into Nod Hill Refuge. We walked on tree-lined paths, crossed brooks, and passed vistas of the beautiful Weir Pond.

Keep an eye on the Wilton Library events calendar and join us for a hike next time!

There was quite the crowd at our last Books & A Blanket⁠. Superheroes, unicorns, skeletons, astronauts, and princesses enjoyed spooky stories and songs, a paper pumpkin craft, and trick-or-treating through the meadow! 🎃⁠

We are sad to say that our fall season of Books & A Blanket is over, but we will return in the spring! 🌷☀️ ⁠

Beech Leaf Disease, discovered in the U.S. in 2012, was first recorded in Connecticut in 2019. Since then, it has become widespread throughout our state, endangering the survival of American beech trees. ⁠
⁠
Dr. Cameron McIntire and Chris Rizzo will share the ecological significance of this disease and the action being taken at Colhoun Preserve to combat it. You will also learn how to recognize BLD on your own and what to do if you find infected trees. ⁠
⁠
Wilton Land Trust is proud to be a supporting partner of the New Canaan Land Trust's program.
