Northwest Park walk rescheduled to Saturday, 7/16

[Roy Zartarian]

We are going to try a doubleheader.

The butterfly walk in Northwest Park, Windsor, that originally had to be
cancelled due to the weather will take place on Saturday, July 16 at 1 PM.
 This will follow the walk at Flaherty.  Meet in the parking lot.

Northwest Park is a 473-acre multi-recreational facility that has been
operated by the
Town of Windsor since 1972. Much of what was once tobacco farmland has been
reclaimed into biologically diverse forests and fields embedded with streams
and many
pristine views. Monarch Meadow is a 12,500 square foot butterfly garden with
over
100 nectar and host plants. A fully accessible trail winds through this
colorful meadow.
Audubon Connecticut recognized the Park as an Important Bird Area in 2004.
Ten
different walking trails wind through the Park—maps are available at the
Nature Center
or on the Park’s website.

Directions: From I-91 take the exit for Rte 75 (exit 38 on I-91 north; exit
38A on I-91
south) toward Poquonock. Turn right at CT-75 N/Poquonock Ave. After 1.6 mi
take a
slight left at Prospect Hill Rd. Go 1.1 mile. At the traffic circle, take
the 1st exit onto
Lang Rd. Entrance is on the left.
