We were washed out of both of our September work parties, so this and next week's work is a replay of trying to finish up the Red Rectangle and Square Trails. If you’d like to help blaze, a small tool belt with places for nails, a hammer and a stockpile of blazes is recommended. Plan to meet at the Dunk […]

A new cross trail and re-routing of two sections of the Red Rectangle Trail are on the work list today. Our property steward Gina Keifer will have flagged the new locations in advance, so all we’ll need to do is post blazing and trim a few branches, as necessary. If time and energy permit, we may remove the decaying bench […] |

Please join GLCT president Spencer Meyer and CT DEEP state forester Alex Amendola for a late-season tour of some of the less common ecological features in Westwoods. We'll look at pitch pine, scrub oak, and other imperiled/rare plant communities, as well as winter plant and tree identification and other ecology. Expect 3-4 miles of hiking, and perhaps a little off-trail […]

This work party is delayed until the afternoon so people can first attend the Forest Ecology Tour, which starts at 9AM (See below). But once done, we’ll be heading over to the Red Rectangle Trail just south of the Eversource right-of-way to explore alternative routes to the extremely steep section of trail just after the wetland crossing. We plan to […] |
