Connecticut Audubon Center, 1361 Main Street, Glastonbury, CT
From their website: “Located near the Connecticut River, the Connecticut Audubon Center at Glastonbury has taken full advantage of its unique location since its opening in 1982. This Center’s focus is to promote awareness of the Connecticut River ecosystem and the birds and habitats it supports, and to foster their preservation through education and related activities.

The Center’s 4,000 square-foot facility offers a full range of environmental programs and a full calendar of events throughout the year for people of all ages. The Center contains a Discovery Room with hands-on exhibits, wildlife mounts, interpretive natural history exhibits, a diorama of Connecticut River’s Great Meadow, and small live animals. The grounds surrounding the Center contain the Four Seasons Wildlife Garden, a bird-feeding station, and a picnic area.

The Center is adjacent to the 48-acre town-owned Earle Park, with its forest trails and scenic vistas of Tom’s Pond, meadows, and bluffs overlooking the Holland Brook River. The park is home to a maturing forest of beech, tulip, and red oak trees and contains the state champion bitternut hickory tree. It contains trails for hiking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding.”

Pull into the parking lot and look for the message board right behind the building. Look for the trail map box on the side. You should also see information on my Peace Pole which is at the trail head. Make sure to walk all the way around to see all the languages and animal prints. Follow the trail toward the river. After a leisurely five minute walk, you will come to a clearing. To the right will be the bridge and to the left will be Tom’s Pond. Turn left and you will see an old wood pile behind an old sign about 25 paces away. Tucked in between the middle of the logs is the letterbox. Please share your own message of Peace in the log book. The first finder will also be able to take and replant a hitchhiker! Once found, enjoy exploring Tom’s pond and then walk across the bridge toward the river. Before you go home, be sure to visit the animals in the Audubon! I can’t wait to check back and hear from all of you!
