We will meet at 11am at Macricostas Preserve parking lot, 

124 Christian Street, New Preston, CT

0677, Pick up will be t 3pm in same place. Parents, remember to see either Leah or I before you leave. 

Bring binoculars if you have them! We will be on the look out for our fall migrating birds. This preserve is a great rest stop to fill up on water and food for birds who travel south for the winter.

We will make our way through the brooks and streams of the valley area, identifying plants along the way. Then we will head up to the meadow hay field, visit the brook in the forested area, over the swamp/bog lookout, then finally into the forest again. Afterwards we may explore the community garden area. 

Temps will be high of 79ish, partly cloudy, with a chance of a shower. So that rain jacket might come in handy! Keep it in your backpack just in case.
