From Birch Sap to Skunk Cabbage: A Journey of Discovery with Waterbury Youth
On May 2, CLCC, Flanders Land Trust and Nature Center, and Middlebury Land Trust hosted a Bird and Hike event for the Afro-Caribbean Cultural Center’s Black and Taino Youth Leadership Council.
Thirteen middle schoolers visited Middlebury Land Trust’s Sperry Preserve and hiked a one-mile trail through forest and wetland habitats. The event was part of a series of hikes designed to engage Waterbury residents with their local greenspaces and was made possible by a grant from the Connecticut Community Foundation.
