CT Botanical Society Exploratory Walk – Brockway Hawthorne Preserve, Lyme
June 19 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Thursday, June 19 (rain date June 26), 9 am to noon Brockway Hawthorne Preserve, Lyme
Join us for an exploratory walk with Lyme Land Conservation Trust at their Brockway
Hawthorne Preserve. This 82-acre preserve helps protect the Whalebone Cove watershed, with
wetlands, vernal pools, mature forest and a healthy hemlock stand. The trail passes former
pasture and an abandoned quarry. From the Brush Hill Road parking lot, the loop of white trail
(BW) onto yellow trail and back provides a delightful and easy 0.8-mile walk. For those who
wish to continue hiking after the botany walk, the trail continues onto adjacent preserves and to
an overlook of Seldon Cove. Refer to the website below for a trail map.
Directions and Parking: We will meet the main parking lot for the Brockway-Hawthorne
Preserve on Brush Hill Road, Lyme, about 1/2 mile south of Hadlyme Four Corners. Map
