Tornado Causes Natural Disturbance in Lyme Woods
/
0 Comments
The tornado that crossed the conserved Clay Brook buffer and fields north of Whipple Hill Road in Lyme was a rare weather occurrence that had significant impact within a narrow corridor. It's amazing that there were no injuries to people. And though as many as 1,000 trees may have been broken, twisted or blown over, natural disturbances like this can breathe life and health into the forest ecosystem. We’ll be watching and learning as the forest evolves.

Lyme Pinnacle Conservation Area Grows
Lyme Pinnacle is one of the town’s most iconic landscape features and the Conservation Area is popular for hikers, cyclists and picnickers. The addition of a 47-acre parcel to the Lyme Pinnacle Conservation Area has provided a secure trail connection to Franklin Hill Road. The new parcel includes two wetlands and 1,428 feet of frontage on an unnamed stream, as well as several acres of open field habitat and almost half a mile of frontage on Franklin Hill Road. It offers recreational connections between numerous trail loops and scenic dirt roads in the area, just in time for outdoor enjoyment this summer!
