We invite the community to learn more about the North American Porcupine on Saturday, April 18th at 3:00 pm in the Community Room at the Roxbury Town Hall. This free, informative talk will be led by Gerri Griswold of The White Memorial Conservation Center.
Have you ever seen a porcupine in CT? Would you like to know more about Connecticut’s elusive “Quill Pig?” North American Porcupines are large, solitary rodents commonly found in New England. Although they are mostly nocturnal, they can be found perched in the top of a tree during the day. Porcupines are herbivores and typically have 20,000 to 30,000 quills that cover most of their body. Gerri Griswold will address the natural history of one of Connecticut’s most fascinating species and the world’s third-largest rodent in her beautifully-illustrated talk.
Roxbury Town Hall is located at 29 North Street in Roxbury, CT. For more information, call the Roxbury Land Trust at 860-350-4148. Please register online or email info@roxburylandtrust.org.
Established in 1970, the Roxbury Land Trust preserves nearly 4,000 acres of farmland, woodlands, watercourses, wetlands and open space in Roxbury and neighboring communities.
