SUMMARY:Guided Wildflower Walk
DESCRIPTION:Not all wildflowers bloom in spring. As summer stretches toward autumn\, beautiful late summer wildflowers begin to bloom. On Saturday\, August 18 join Karen Cowperthwaite\, local landscape architect and horticulturist\, for an easy walk at our Cobble Brook Vista Preserve to enjoy some of late summer’s wildflowers. This stroll through the meadows will cover identification\, culinary uses\, herbal properties\, and lore\, and relationships with pollinators and birds. Late summer and fall wildflowers are beautiful and important to many pollinators\, birds\, and animals\, providing nectar\, pollen\, and shelter as the growing season winds down. \nWeantinoge protects over 300 acres in the Cobble Brook Valley. The soils here are almost pure sand and the vegetation is like a Vermont hill pasture\, with junipers\, British soldier\, lichen\, and poverty grass. The brook attracts wildlife and the meadow area has many native plants\, making it an ideal habitat for birds like the prairie warbler. \nThis event is free and open to all\, but please RSVP to info@weantinoge.org so we know who to expect. We recommend wearing long pants\, a hat\, bug spray and bringing water. Light refreshments will be available after the walk.

SUMMARY:Bobcats of New Milford
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, Connecticut’s Department of Environment and Energy (DEEP) began a study to determine how the state’s bobcats meet their needs in both rural and suburban environments\, and understand the overall health of the population.\n\nFrom the fall of 2017 to early winter 2018\, the Wildlife Division of DEEP live-trapped bobcats across the state. These bobcats were marked with yellow ear tags and 50 were fitted with GPS (global positioning system) collars. Biologists also collected important data from each bobcat\, including weight\, age\, and sex.\n\nOf the 50 bobcats fitted with collars\, three were found in New Milford; two females and one male. Over the past few months\, the collars have transmitted GPS locations to biologists\, creating a map of the home ranges of these bobcats. All three New Milford bobcats were tracked on Weantinoge land.One female’s home range encompasses Bear Hill\, the highest point in New Milford and an area protected by Weantinoge and the Town. These home range maps highlight how bobcats are using wildlife corridors and in turn illustrate the importance of conserving land.\n\nAll of the collars were programmed to automatically detach on August 1\, 2018\, and DEEP’s Wildlife Division staff will be working to recover the collars (which will still be transmitting signals). If you happen to find a collar during a walk in the woods\, please contact the Wildlife Division at 860-424-3045 or deep.ctwildlife@ct.gov.
