Litchfield Hills Audubon Society Kalmia Sanctuary



Kalmia Sanctuary at the end of Laurel Road is approximately 12+ acres in size. It was donated to Litchfield Hills Audubon Society (LHAS) by Dr. Elizabeth Cooling in 1982. Upon her passing in 1991, the house on the property was added to the sanctuary which LHAS rents. The sanctuary can be accessed from the well marked parking area. It offers marked nature trails, a pollinator and butterfly garden which attract a variety of birds, bees, and butterflies throughout the year. A variety of Mountain Laurel plantings (kalmia latifolia) provide splendid color in early spring. The butterfly garden is surrounded by benches for visitors to sit and enjoy the symphony of color and sounds!
