Brisk Winter Walk #7: Saturday, January 24, 2026. 9:00 AM. Wethersfield Meadows, Standish and Packtor Parcels, Crow Point

Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 9:00 am, Wethersfield. About 2 1/2 hours. Meet Goodwin University’s Bruce Morton, Program Director of Environmental Studies, at the Putnam Park parking lot, 100 Great Meadow Road, just north of the Putnam Bridge. We’ll peel away the centuries to imagine the river bank before the bridge, check out the strategically located Standish parcel, and explore the 300+ acre Crow Point property owned by Goodwin University. We’ll observe the process of nature reclaiming the land and waterways excavated for fill to build the highway across the ancient farmland and wetlands of the Great Meadows.
