The Old Lyme Land Trust is sponsoring a guided walk on the new educational Nature Trail across from Mile C reek School at 191 Mile Creek Rd, Old Lyme in honor of Earth Day. The walk will be held Sunday, April 27, at 2 p.m.
The walk will be led by Pamela Hine, a professor of Botany at Connecticut College.
The Mile Creek Nature Trail was created last year with help from the then third grade class, who painted all the posts that dot the trail. The trail, which is walking distance from Mile Creek School, will hopefully be incorporated into the curriculum of the students, who will eventually span from preschool to fifth grade.
Points of interest along the trail include interesting facts about the geology and history, as well as the flora and fauna.
The walk is anticipated to take about an hour and all are welcome. Parking is possible at the preserve entrance, which is 0.2 miles from the entrance, or at Mile Creek School.
