Book Launch – Connecticut’s Sandy Shores

The public is invited to a book launch and author talk on Connecticut’s Sandy Shores: An Introduction to the Geology, Plants and Animals at 4 p.m. on Nov. 29 in Room 103 of the Lowell P. Weicker Jr. Building at the UConn Avery Point campus in Groton.

Published this fall, the 130-page, spiral-bound guidebook contains dozens of color photos and illustrations along with explanatory text about the ecology, common species and why Connecticut’s sandy beaches differ from many others along the Atlantic seaboard.
