Brisk Winter Walk

January 1, 1:00pm. GMCT Brisk Winter Walk

Friday, January 1, 1:00 pm, Wethersfield. About 11⁄2 hours. Meet Jim Woodworth at 160 Middletown Ave, south of Maple St, on GMCT’s Wood parcel. Cross the shiny bridge and follow the trail along the marsh and around the loop past the 18th century house site. Learn about the promise of the Elm Restoration Project. Hike will continue across the culvert by the Pond, and out along the edge of the farm fields that once hosted the original “Pyquag” Native American summer camp, and then along the Beaver Brook marsh, across the Frechette Field, and the newly acquired Dowd parcel. See full schedule here!

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 Jim Woodworth for the latest information, 860-808-9968. Free.

GMCT Brisk Winter Walks for 2021 are co-sponsored by the Land Heritage Coalition of Glastonbury, the Eleanor Buck Wolf Nature Center in Wethersfield, and Goodwin College.

Covid-19 adaptations! Walks are by Pre-registration only. Please register for each walk through Eventbrite. Go to www.gmct.org and follow the link to the walk you’d like to join. Each scheduled walk will be broken into groups of 10 walkers, each group departing on the half hour. Registrants will receive a free “ticket” to a specific departure time. With each reservation, registrants will be required to submit a waiver form that includes contact information and a pledge to wear a mask, practice social distancing, and stay home if they are experiencing any of the symptoms of Covid-19. Walkers are asked to arrive close to the start time of their assigned group to avoid large gatherings.
