HIKING
NOTICE:
A
number of Branford Land Trust properties contain dead or dying
Hemlock trees as a result of a recent parasite epidemic specific
to these trees. Hiking on these properties presents a danger
of injury from falling limbs or whole trees, especially on
windy days. Please be aware and use caution. Hiking on such
properties
must be considered to be "at your own risk"!
FRIENDS
OF OUTER ISLAND
Outer Island, the southern-most of the Thimble Islands, is
part of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge.
Friends of Outer Island is a group of volunteers who have
organized to support the US Fish & Wildlife Service's activities
on Outer Island. One of our goals is to recruit and train
volunteer stewards who will greet and supervise visitors to
the island. Public access to the island is limited because,
as a wildlife refuge, landing is not permitted unless Fish
& Wildlife staff or designated volunteers are present. If
you would like to learn more about Friends of Outer Island,
or are interested in volunteering on Outer Island during the
summer, please visit
the web site or call Ainsley Highman at 483-6939.
