(June 7, 2023) — The Haddam Land Trust will host a charcoal walk at the Dunham Preserve on Saturday, June 10, 2023, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Walkers should meet at Tom Worthley’s house at 553 Candlewood Hill Road, Higganum.
Connecticut’s forests once hosted colliers, who created charcoal from wood. Remnants of this activity can be found throughout our local forests. Areas of the Dunham Preserve have visible charcoal-making remains. Haddam Land Trust member and UConn Extension Forester Tom Worthley will lead this walk.
