October 19, 2025
While we’re asleep, opossums are awake, exploring and searching for food. Learn all about these often misunderstood creatures of the night when Woodstock’s Ferncroft Wildlife Rescue educational ambassador opossums return to the Connecticut Audubon Society’s Center at Pomfret on Sunday, October 26, at 1:00 p.m. Registration is recommended to ensure your seats for this very popular program. Adult admission is $5.00 for CAS members; $10.00 for non-members; free for children age ten and younger. Register online or call the Center at 860-928-4948. Center hours are Tuesday through Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.

Before meeting the ambassadors, you will learn from Pam and Bill Lefferts, Ferncroft’s owners, about the natural history of opossums, which are not native to New England. Read more.
