Fall Festival of History and Nature

The Meriden Land Trust, Meriden Linear Trails, and the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association have collaborated to offer this free public event on October 17, 2026. Please come celebrate history and nature with us! Featuring an exciting demonstration from 11-12 of a river watershed, where we learn about the living river system and how to help it thrive. From 12-1, we're offering an incredible visit from rehabilitated birds of prey where we meet real live raptors and learn how to protect them. Also, all day, we'll have an advanced master gardener onsite to talk about planting for pollinators and other tips in the QRWA garden; Revolutionary War dress-ups will be present, and there will be free refreshments in/near the QRWA headquarters. Updates to come! Check back as the date is closer for updates. Rain date 10/18.
