ARBOR DAY – TREE WALK!
Please join the Old Lyme Land Trust at the Hoffman-Matthiessen-DeGerenday Preserve at 95 Sill Lane in Old Lyme for an informal tour of trees found at our preserve and how to identify them.
A favorite of many locals looking for a moderate hike in a wooded setting featuring laurel stands, large, soft patches of ferns, and dramatic rock outcroppings.
History:
This 40 acre preserve is the result of three generous donations to the Old Lyme Land Trust: 24 acres off Sill Lane donated by John L. Hoffman in 1992 from his parents’ estate, 8 acres on Millpond Lane donated by conservationist Ormsby Hanes Matthiessen in 2001, and another 8 acres on Millpond Lane donated in 2007 by Elisabeth DeGerenday, founder of the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts.
