A guided walk around Haley Farm State Park. Staff from the Connecticut Reserve and CT Sea Grant will lead a walking tour from the parking lot, along Palmer Cove, and through the upland habitats.

Come learn why Haley Farm State Park is so special and about some of the work the Reserve staff is doing to monitor, improve, and protect this area. You will also learn about the work of CT Sea Grant and how the two organizations complement one another in supporting thriving and diverse coastal ecosystems and communities.
