Insect Life Hike

August 25 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free

The Sleeping Giant Park Association invites you to join us in learning about insects on the Giant – this hike will introduce participants to some of the many insects that call the Giant “home”, and their incredible adaptations and diversity. Raymond Simpson, former President of the CT Entomological Society, will lead the hike. Ray used to work at the Peabody Museum in Entomology.

This will be an easy to moderate hike – 2 hours or so with stops for discussion. All hikers should bring water and have proper clothing and footwear for conditions. Children must be 8 or older. Sorry, no pets.

Registration is required. Please register each hiker separately. There will be a wait list so please cancel if you find that you cannot attend. If cancelled due to weather, you will be contacted by email that morning.

The hike will begin at 1:00 PM at the map board at the front of the park. Please arrive 15 minutes early.

For additional information about this or other hikes, please contact SGPA’s hiking programs manager at [email protected].
