[Ctleps-l] Reminder - CBA field trip - Machimoodus State Park, East Haddam

Sadly, it sounds as though it’s pretty much pouring across the state and not expecting to let up anytime soon. Afraid we have to cancel our Machimoodus trip. Next year we’ll plan to be available for a rain date!

The weather isn’t looking great, but I do not believe that we are able to reschedule for Sunday. Maryann is telling me not to give up hope—I am planning to visit to pick milkweed for my Monarch caterpillars. Stay tuned!

East Haddam

Saturday August 4, 10 AM Machimoodus State Park, East Haddam Leaders: Diane Adams (860)508-8869, Maryann Nazarchyk 860-912-5663 Machimoodus is a 300 acre property overlooking the Salmon River and Salmon River Cove. It contains ponds, woods, and fields mowed for the benefit of summer wildflowers, including significant milkweed stands. Paths are maintained through the fields for those who prefer not to bushwhack. Old farm roads and trails make most of the property readily accessible. Hiking boots are encouraged—there are also several picnic tables placed around the park, in case you want to make a day of it, and kayak rental next door at Sunrise Park. CBA has not had a field trip to this site in recent memory, so this is an exploratory trip. From Diane: Last year at this time, the Ironweed was full of butterflies—mostly Monarchs and skippers. Also saw an owl! On a past summer visit, I found Common Ringlet, Black Swallowtail, Wood Nymph, Pearl Crescent, skippers, duskywings, and browns. Directions: From the intersection of Routes 82 and 149 in East Haddam follow Route 149 north 3.8 miles to its intersection with Route 151. Turn left (west) on Route 151 and follow for 1.2 miles to the park entrance on the left. (If using GPS, enter 128 Leesville Rd., Moodus, CT.) Meet in parking lot.
