Who better to explore Barton Cove with than Elizabeth Farnsworth, co- author of both the Connecticut River Boating Guide and the Peterson Field Guide to the Ferns of Northeastern and Central North America? Barton Cove is well known for its scenic beauty and nesting bald eagles and, with any luck, this paddle will allow us glimpses of both. Botanists also know this area as one rich in a variety of fern species. Participants will paddle to two locations along the peninsula and take short hikes in search of ferns of woodland and rocky habitats.
Please bring lunch and drinks to enjoy along the way. Program co-sponsor, the Connecticut River Watershed Council, is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to celebrating and protecting the four-state watershed. Their updated Boating Guide (co-authored by Elizabeth) was published in 2007.
Elizabeth Farnsworth is Senior Research Ecologist with the New England Wild Flower Society. Her unique background as a botanist, professor, illustrator, author, boat builder and kayaker provide her with a wealth of information to share during this exploration of the Cove.
