VIRTUAL WILDLIFE FESTIVAL: Due to social distancing requirements, instead of a one-day Wildlife Festival on Sunday, May, 31st, Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park will be hosting a Wildlife Week. Each day through June 6th, the Wilton Preserve will premiere a short video or host a live event that is based on the in-person events that would have taken place at the annual festival at Camp Saratoga. These will premiere daily at 10 a.m. on the Wilton Preserve’s Facebook page and the videos will be posted to its YouTube channel. The Festival Week will include a Video Nature Craft at Home on Tuesday, June 2; “Who Will Roar if I Go?” Online Storybook Reading on Wednesday, June 3; a Video Exploration and History of the Historic Cornell Hill Fire Tower on Thursday, June 4; Aquatic Freshwater Wildlife Exploration Video from Delegan Pond on Friday, June 5; and a National Trails Day Trail Highlight Video on Saturday, June 6.
