This is a partial/incomplete listing as I have not yet explored the Avery Nature Preserve.
From the Waterford Land Trust site,
Dr. George Avery and his wife Virginia donated the first parcel known as the Avery Tract in 1979. Dr. Avery was professor emeritus at Connecticut College, and first director of that institution’s Arboretum. The second parcel was purchased from Dr. Avery’s heirs on May 11, 2001. The WLT received an Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant from the state of Connecticut for $90,000.00. An additional $7,500.00 was donated by the Norcross Wildlife Foundation for the purchase.
