The Connecticut Alphabet (ABC) Series was initially conceived by *Pine Tree (of CT). A call was put forth for volunteers to carve and plant letterboxes all over the State. Look for other 'boxes in this series by other planters!

_____________________________________________________________
A Lifelong Wethersfield resident, Eleanor Buck Wolf was an accomplished storyteller, historian, artist, author and activist. She was loved for her modesty, good humor and single-minded dedication to important causes and for her unselfish concern for her community. Eleanor lived by the motto she learned in the second grade:
“Give to the world the best that you can
and the best will come back to you.”
As one of the original founders of the “Friends” in 1972, Eleanor shared the dream to create a free-standing nature center in Wethersfield that would offer environmental and wildlife exhibits and create activities for all the citizens of her hometown. Her dream and ambition to keep the community united by sharing an interest in natural sciences and the environment was finally realized with the building which now bears her name.
(From the pamphlet: “Join the Friends of the Eleanor Buck Wolf Nature Center in Wethersfield”.)

Update: 20.June 2013 A tip of the hat and a thank you to the staff and volunteers (who know about the 'box) for keeping me updated about changes at the Center!
After you enjoy the displays and exhibits at the Eleanor Buck Wolf Nature Center, look for "LbNA" in the room with water in it. You may notice notice assorted fish or not because you see a large-ish Red Tailed Boa. Still can't find the 'box? Let me drawer you a picture.
The letter W is a *Pine Tree Production. ;)
Please carefully reseal the Lock N Lock type box, and rehide the letterbox exactly where it was placed.
Please contact the placer if you find any problems.
Thank You, Connfederate
