Whittemore Sanctuary Hike
Flanders Land Management Volunteer, Karen Esslinger, will lead this spring hike of the Whittemore. The extensive 8-mile trail system winds through a wide range of ecological habitats, including woodlands, streams, ponds, and a large bog. The bog and wetlands support endangered, threatened, and rare plants. The forest on the property is, historically, one of the oldest privately managed forests in Connecticut, containing planted white pine, regenerated oak, and several large laurel and tulip tree stands. The hike is moderate, 90 to 120 minutes, and a 3-mile loop.
