Thanks to Jim McHutchison and the Stewards who braved a walkabout on Middlesex Land Trust’s most recent acquisition, the Brainerd Quarry Preserve. What a beautiful piece of property, 50 acres overlooking the Connecticut River, check out some of these views. Another nice view! Beautiful streams cross the property. And interesting rock caves along with old quarry sites abound. Here we are, seeking shelter from the sleet and hail, apparently John LS didn’t check the weather before putting shorts on for the walk. John finds a nice bench to check out the view. Whitney Pond, Mica Ledges Preserve, Durham Wesleyan Student Volunteers with Marilyn Mica Ledges Clean Up Everyone Pitches In!
