Update: Many thanks to the volunteers who provided a guided tour of Hawk Hill Farm! Zellene Sandler helped identify birds and other wildlife in the meadows, forests, and wetlands. Peter Picone and Ron Pitz toured the farm’s American Elm and other champion trees, as well as discussed invasive species such as Mugwort, Skunk Cabbage … and the Wild Roses our steward-farmer’s Boer goats were munching.

Hawk Hill has one of the oldest continuously operating farms in Bloomfield, and its gently sloping farm roads lead to beautiful views of the Metacomet Range and Hartford skyline. This Earth Day event was hosted by Wintonbury Land Trust and co-sponsored by the Bloomfield Beautification Committee and Bloomfield Conservation, Energy & Environment Committee as part of the Town’s Trees for Bloomfield initiative.
