southeast on Rte 63 toward New Haven. Make left on Blake St., go quarter mile
and make left on Farnam Ave. At end of Farnam, make left on Wintergreen. Pass
cemetery on right, angle left on Wintergreen, come to stop sign and make right
on Springside. Go to next stop sign; make left back onto Brookside

Mansfield Hollow Dam, Windham
Leader: Lenny Brown 203-949-9024
The pine barrens and open areas north of Windham Airport are home to a number of
species of butterflies not often seen in the state, including three species of
elfins, Cherry Gall Azure, Sleepy Duskywing, and Cobweb Skipper.
Directions: Meet at the commuter lot at the southeast corner of Windham Airport
on the north side of Route 6. Lot is approximately 0.7 miles west of the
junction of Route 6 and Route 203. From there, we will walk along the top of the
dike to the open areas north of the airport.
