Happenings at Long Wharf Nature Preserve and Urban Oasis Demonstration Site – Deborah Johnson
August 26, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
This event is organized with the New Haven Land Trust, Save the Sound, and Audubon Connecticut. An environmentally-focused family-friendly morning learning about the Urban Oases projects in New Haven, the work of the Land Trust on this piece of “disturbed” but “recovered” land in the heart of downtown New Haven, and, of course, a bird walk. We hope to see early shorebird migrants as we walk to the Oasis at Oyster Point and back along the harbor shore line. Bird walk leader is Bill Batsford; other participants include the summer interns from both the Urban Resources Initiative and Common Ground High School who have maintained this site all summer, Horseshoe Crab/Project Limulus researchers (read Red Knot), and the conservation efforts of the NHBC. 2 hours; 1 mile walking.
Please note: the google map will take you to the visitor center parking lot at the east end of park. the walk will be meeting at the parking area next to the Vietnam War Memorial on the west end of Long Wharf.
