Trail Wood Residency
In early October I had the pleasure of being the Artist-in-Residence at Trail Wood, once the home of naturalists Edwin and Nellie Teale. The Teales bequeathed 168 acres of historic farmland and secondary forest to the Connecticut Audubon Society in the early 1980s; this gift established the Edwin Way Teale Memorial Sanctuary, a haven for birds and other wildlife.

There’s a beaver pond, butterfly meadows, babbling brooks, Nellie’s summer house, and also Edwin’s writing cabin, built to the exact specifications of Thoreau’s cabin at Walden. The property is also crisscrossed by what must be miles of stunning dry stone walls running through fields and woods, evoking the previous lives that this piece of land has lived.
