CELEBRATE EARTH DAY WITH AN EDUCATIONAL TOUR

Hawk Hill Farm (22 Duncaster Rd, Bloomfield)

The Land Trust and its partners preserved Hawk Hill Farm because it's one of the oldest continuously operating farms in Bloomfield and its gently sloping roads lead to beautiful views of the Metacomet Traprock Ridge and Hartford skyline.

We'll walk approximately 2 miles to learn about the historic property’s many notable trees, volunteer efforts to manage invasive plants, and local birds that can be spotted on the pastures, pond, and forest (binoculars optional). Our guide will be Ron Pitz, a Land Trust volunteer steward, DEEP-certified Master Wildlife Conservationist, and former executive director of the Knox Foundation.

RSVP in advance to help us manage the group size. The rain date is Sunday, April 23. This event is co-sponsored by the North Central Conservation District and is part of the Town’s TREES FOR BLOOMFIELD initiative.
