E-Nature Newsletter from Winding Trails - April 2017 e-Nature Newsletter from Winding Trails - April 2017 SPRING HAPPENINGS Hi Everyone, April is an interesting month. Warming temperatures, spring rains, and lengthening daylight hours are signals to many animals and plants that it is time to awaken from their winter sleep and begin a new season. One of the first native bees to be seen during this month are the queen bumblebees. You will recognize them because of their large size compared to bumblebees seen later in the season. After spending the winter hibernating alone, a queen’s first action is to locate early spring flowers. Within these flowers, the found nectar will give her much needed energy while the pollen provides the protein she needs so her ovaries will develop. After a short while, she can be seen flying low over the grass or ground in a zig-zag style pattern as she hunts for a suitable nest. It is usually found within an underground chipmunk or mouse hole; occasionally it is placed above ground in dried leaves. Inside this nest, she creates a “honeypot” from wax secreted by her body. Once this honeypot is filled with nectar and pollen, she will lay her first set of eggs for the season. These insects are great pollinators of native plants such as blueberries, tomatoes, and squash. This is accomplished by a process called buzz pollination. Smithsonian has a great short video that shows the process better than I can explain it… check it out at this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7q9Kn1rhRc. It is said that this type of pollination allows plants to produce more fruit. Bring on the bumblebees! Spring rains, that April is famous for, are needed by all. They provide a healthy start for plants so buds expand into new leaves and flowers – both obvious and subdued. The rains trigger slumbering frogs, salamanders, and snakes to awaken and mate and provide us with much needed moisture to replenish ground water for our region. This awakening should also get us outside – into the yard or garden, onto a local rails-to-trails or forest path, wandering through a local park, or fishing along some waterbody shore. This newsletter issue should help by providing you with lots of ideas and many opportunities to explore nature with family and friends or by yourself for some quiet downtime. Last, yet not least, Nature’s Porch has lots to offer this spring as we celebrate our 5th year of operation. Check out the listing found on page 3 to see what’s happening. Among the offerings, there is a great volunteer opportunity on April 8th and 9th to help us build fish habitats that will be used on property. Let me know if you’d like to help. Look forward to seeing you out and about!

Visual Resource Evaluation BNE Energy Inc. (“BNE”) seeks to construct a wind generation project (“Wind Colebrook South” or the “Project”) at 17 and 29 Flagg Hill Road (collectively identified herein as the “Property” or “Site”) in the Town of Colebrook, Connecticut. This Supplemental Visual Resource Evaluation was completed to evaluate the potential visibility of the Project within a five-mile radius of the proposed Property (“Study Area”), incorporating recent Project design modifications. The Study Area also includes land located within the neighboring municipalities of Norfolk, Goshen, and Winchester. Figure 1 (Property Location Map) depicts the proposed location of the Project and the limits of the Study Area. Project Introduction BNE proposes to install three General Electric (“GE”) 1.6 megawatt (“MW”) wind turbines at the Property, one each in the south-central, northeast and northwest portions of the Property, respectively. The hub height of the GE turbines would be 100 meters (328 feet). The blade diameter of the GE turbines would be 82.5 meters (270.6 feet). Aviation lighting in the form of an upward-facing, low intensity red strobe would be required for illumination at night on the hub of each of the turbines. In addition to the three turbines, Wind Colebrook South would include associated ground equipment consisting of an electrical collector yard and associated utility infrastructure so that the turbines can be interconnected to the electrical grid.

Each of the six field foresters is responsible for the management of the vegetation found on the State Forest Lands assigned to them. The foundations for that management work are lo-year plans that are developed for approximately lo% of the forester's assigned area each year. Foresters also manage Wildlife Management areas and State Park lands, as requested by the Wildlife and State Parks Divisions, respectively. These plans set the management strategy for DEP foresters to follow as they work to maintain dynamic ecosystems by increasing species diversity and age class diversity in forest stands. The management of state-owned lands aims to be responsive to the social and economic needs of Connecticut's population, but to provide for those needs in a responsible, sustainable manner.
