may be some trail hiking which is generally flat but rocky.

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 
(Wintergreen). Entrance to park will be on left, parking lot will be on right

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.
