Brisk Winter Walk

This event is not organized by the Democratic Town Committee.

The January “Brisk Winter Walks” are organized by the Great Meadows Conservation Trust (GMCT). There are several throughout the month of January. The walks are designed to get people outside, to teach attendees about the various GMCT parcels, to meet members of the GMCT, and to learn about the work of the Trust.

GMCT is a non-partisan land trust, incorporated in 1968 by concerned citizens of Wethersfield, Rocky Hill and Glastonbury as a non-profit tax-exempt land trust to protect and preserve the Great Meadows.

January 4, 1:00pm
Meet at the Meadows gate at 78 Goff Brook Lane (pictured), off of Old Main Street. Join GMCT president Tim Lewis on a hike to several of the parcels in the Rocky Hill Meadows. The walk will begin on the farm road, and take a turn around the Goff Brook Trail in the DiPaola parcel, and walk out into the Meadows, noting the Nature Conservancy flood plain forest study transect and the planting of DED (Dutch elm disease) tolerant Elm Trees.

Dress for the weather and ground conditions, including mud or snow. Weather and water conditions may revise or cancel. These areas are used for hunting, so wear an orange vest if you have one. Call or text Jim Woodworth for the latest information, 860-808-9968.
