The hike, open to a maximum of 25 people, will be held in the land trust’s Randall’s Farm Preserve on Sport Hill Road, one mile north of Silverman’s Farm. The rain date is Sunday, May 18, at 10 a.m.
The event is led by the trio of conservation biologist Milan Bull, his dog, Edge, and noted dog trainer Jason Hoffman.
Bull, the Connecticut Audubon Society’s senior director of science and conservation, together with Hoffman, owner of 203 Pet Care, will discuss what dogs sense on a hike in the woods; what biologists observe; how seemingly small events can have very significant environment consequences; and what the best strategies are for having a good time with your dog while hiking Aspetuck Land Trust preserves.
At the request of hike leaders, do not bring your dog to this demonstration and education event. The free event is open to the first 25 people who reserve their place by sending an email to dbrant@aspetucklandtrust.org
