Join us for a guided bird walk in celebration of Latino Conservation Week.
Connecticut Land Conservation Council and Flanders Land Trust & Nature Center are hosting a guided bird walk with Latino Outdoors CT in celebration of Latino Conservation Week—a nationwide event honoring the deep and lasting connections Latino communities have with land, water, and the outdoors. This week is a special time to gather, celebrate, and reaffirm stewardship traditions passed down through generations.
Join us for a 2-mile hike at Flanders Whittemore Sanctuary in Woodbury, CT. We’ll enjoy good conversation and a leisurely walk as we look for birds. Expect to spot Woodpeckers, Ducks, and perhaps even an Eagle!
All are welcome to attend. Binoculars, snacks, and water will be provided for all attendees. Free transportation will be provided for Waterbury residents.
At 9:30am a bus will depart from the Rivera Memorial Foundation 186 Cherry St #1, Waterbury, CT 06702 and return at approximately 12:45pm.
For questions contact CLCC’s Community Conservation Coordinator, Vanessa Daye, at Vanessa@CTConservation.org
