It has long been known that “to everything there is a season,” but why? Changing day length drives many seasonal patterns in nature, and this marks the day when we turn the corner from day lengths getting longer to shorter. Celebrate the solstice at the spectacular Selden Creek Preserve, where we’ll watch the sun set from a cliff overlooking the largest island in the Connecticut. Along the way, we’ll see examples of how the passage of the season affects plants, wildlife, and ecosystems such as upland forest and forested wetlands. Terrain is gentle-to-moderate.
