NATURE WALK IN HANOVER'S MINK BROOK NATURE AREA
Explore the habits and habitats
of our indigenous woodland animals. Through careful observation of obvious and subtle field signs, we will investigate
how various species (emphasis on our larger northern mammals) interact with the landscape. This outing will be about
physical sensing, awareness of forest inhabitants, recognizing dynamics and disturbances, and becoming one and the same with
nature. Recognizing and reading remote environs allow you to become part of the forest community. In so doing,
you will come to know the forest just as you know your home and yourself.
Instructor: Alcott Smith, D.V.M. has been a practicing veterinarian for thirty-five
years. From childhood curiosity, he has maintained a lifelong commitment and unwavering allegiance to the indigenous
fauna of Northern New England. Beyond his active role in the perpetuity of endangered species, he revels in sharing
his passion with others and excels in his ability to bring to life the relationship between our wild fauna and its habitat.
CANOES/KAYAKS
Canoes/Kayaks are available from the Ledyard Canoe Club to rent
on a hourly basis. Reservations are requested.
Prices have not been set as of 1/14/2005
