Edwin Way Teale (1899-1980) was a writer and naturalist who has been ranked with Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and John Burroughs.
In 1959, he and his wife Nellie left the increasing suburbanization of their Long Island home for a 130-acre wooded estate in Hampton, Connecticut, which they named "Trailwood." This became the subject of one of TealeÕs most popular books, A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm.
Teale was the recipient of numerous awards, including the John Burroughs Medal in 1943 and the Ecology Award of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1975. He was an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the New York Academy of Sciences, and an associate of the Royal Photographic Society.
After Nellie TealeÕs death in 1993, Trailwood passed to the Connecticut Audubon Society which maintains it as a public sanctuary and a memorial to two remarkable individuals and their appreciation for the natural world.
