SUMMARY:Saturday, June 13, 2026, 9:00 am, Shopboard Rock, Higganum, CT
DESCRIPTION:Shopboard Rock was acquired by the Haddam Land Trust in 2025.  Long a historic landmark, is said to have received its name from the fact that a tailor once cut a suit of clothes upon it for a customer whom he happened to meet there. The large rock is thought to be a large glacial erratic.  The ridge is dominated by oak/hickory forest, with many mature pitch pines within.  Deer pressure is heavy and the understory is sparse.\nDirections and Parking:  Reach Route 154 in the Higganum section of Haddam  via Route 9 Aircraft Road exit.  Head south on Route 154.  You will shortly cross into Haddam from Middletown.  On the left you will pass Deb’s Restaurant, a commercial area, and a gas station.  Take the first left on to Boulder Dell Road.  Take a right at the dead end, which is still Boulder Dell Road.  Turn left on to Maynard Road.  There is a parking area on the right.  If the parking area is full, park along Maynard Road.\nCoordinates:  41.505256, -72.569356\nLeader: Gail Reynolds, CBS Director, gail.kalison.reynolds@aya.yale.edu, 860-424-6143\n
