CT Trails Day in Wethersfield
Great Meadows Conservation Trust Connecticut Trails Day Events 2023
June 3, 10:30am – 12:00pm. Little Kids’ Nature Walk
At GMCT Wood Parcel. Rain or shine.
Nature hike for little kids at the Wood Parcel. Bring your young naturalists for a short walk over the bridge, through the woods, by the turtle pond (and new beaver dam!), along the marsh and brook, and out to the farm fields where corn is being planted, strawberries ripening and spinach harvested. If we’re lucky we’ll see turtles in the pond, muskrats, beaver or great blue heron or green heron in the brook, and birds soaring overhead.

June 4, 10:00am – 11:30am. Wethersfield Cove Paddle
Rain or High Water Cancels.
Join Great Meadows Conservation Trust’s Tim Lewis and Paul Woodworth, and Connecticut River Conservancy’s Rhea Drozdenko for a paddle around Wethersfield Cove. Explore the north side of the cove and Folly Brook. View birdlife and learn about clean water efforts. If we are able, we will also venture out onto the Connecticut River. This is a novice paddle. A limited number of kayaks are available if you need one. Life vests are required, and sunscreen, snacks and water are highly recommended. Heavy rain or high water cancels. Registration for this event is required and includes signing a waiver.
New to paddling? Recently purchased a kayak or canoe? Please join us at 9:30am for an introductory workshop!
