Connecticut Trails Day Celebration June 5 and 6, 2010 Get ready to find your happy place in Connecticut! Connecticut Trails Day is here. Because of great participation by hundreds of volunteers, Connecticut’s celebration takes place over two fun-filled days and continues to be larger than any other state’s. More than 2,500 Nutmeggers participated in last year’s events. Join your family, friends, and neighbors and enjoy the wonder- ful outdoor opportunities available throughout Connecticut. As always, there is a great variety of events that offers something for everyone—whether it be a long or short hike, history walk, paddle, family walk, orienteering, letterboxing, trail mainte- nance, or cycling. Strong participation by organizations like the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), local and regional land trusts, town agencies, outdoors-oriented businesses, volunteers, and our great sponsors is key to the success of Connecticut Trails Day. This year, Jen Benner, CFPA’s communications manager, led the coordination effort and her new on-line event registry has helped stimulate event leaders to submit more than 160 events. Jen, the rest of the CFPA staff, especially Terri Peters and Jim Lit- tle, and the Connecticut Trails Day Committee, deserve special thanks for their dedicated work in soliciting events, drumming up support, and preparing this booklet. Take a look through the pages, join in the fun, and Find Your Happy Place! – Chuck Sack, Connecticut Trails Day Committee Chairman Connecticut Forest & Park Association has been the state coordinator for CFPA Connecticut Trails Day, part of the Ameri- can Hiking Society’s National Trails Day, since 1993.

The trail winds over 200 miles of rugged, clas- sic New England landscape, including traprock ridges, forests, and waterways on state, municipal, and private lands. It connects 39 communities and gives outdoor access to nearly 2 million people that live within 10 miles of its route. The trail is jointly managed by the National Park Service (NPS), Connecticut Forest & Park Associa- tion (CFPA), and Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). Celebrate Trails Day by attending one of the events held on this new National Scenic Trail. To learn more about the NET, visit www.newenglandtrail.org. Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route (W3R) - National Historic Trail This route encompasses 600 miles of history, winding from Newport, Rhode Island through Connecticut and 8 other states to Yorktown, Virginia. It honors the Franco-American alliance and the efforts of Generals George Washington and Jean Baptiste de Rochambeau to preserve that alliance as we struggled for our Independence. Many organizations, including the National Park Service (NPS) and state, town, and historical groups, helped to establish the route and continue to develop its management plan. Step back in history, and take part in one of the W3R events that is scheduled for Trails Day 2010. To learn more about the W3R, visit www.w3r-us.org. 4 8 Ways to Prepare for a Fun Trails Day Outing Choose the right event for you. Long-distance hikes are great for those who exercise daily, while short, flat 1 adventures are better for less active individuals and/or young children. Be sure to match your physical condition with an appropriate outing. Follow the leader. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the event to touch base with the leader and sign in. 2 Inform the leader if you have any medical conditions (allergies, etc.) that might become an issue while you are out. Always stay with the leader and group. Wear suitable shoes and clothing. Above-ankle boots (or sturdy shoes) and socks are recommended for most 3 events. Avoid high heels, flip-flops, and other loose slip-on footwear. Bike participants must wear an approved hel- met. Paddle participants must wear an approved personal flotation device. Bring plenty of water and a snack. Hydrate well before long outings and don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. 4 High-energy snacks are always good to have on hand or pack a lunch. Protect yourself. Sunscreen is important, as well as a hat and sunglasses on a sunny day. Bringing an insect 5 repellent of your choice is also a good idea. Carry a cell phone for emergencies, but leave it off. Always check yourself for ticks after outdoor activities. Remember you will be outdoors. Try to use a restroom before an outing. Depending on location, bathroom facili- 6 ties might not be available—come prepared for the woods. Leave no trace. Pack out what you pack in. Respect private property, stay on the trails, and obey all rules. Be 7 a good steward; do not leave rubbish, start fires, or injure vegetation. Ask questions. If you have any questions prior to the outing, contact the event leader or coordinator at the 8 e-mail address or phone number provided in the event description. By attending Connecticut Trails Day events I confirm that I have read and understand the event description(s). I verify that I, and any minor children accompanying me, are physically able to participate. I release the Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA) from any liability that may arise from our participation in Connecticut Trails Day events. 5 _______________________________________________ICoN KEy Difficulty l Easy (Mostly level terrain with a likeliness to encoun- ter few, if any, obstacles) n Moderate (Gently rising terrain with a likeliness to encounter occasional obstacles) u Challenging (Steep terrain with a likeliness to en- counter periodic obstacles) _______________________________________________ Families Leashed Dogs Permitted Universal

    Features to Explore in CT

    Features to explore in CT: Week 2 of the Great Outdoor Pursuit 2021 starts June 12, 2021 Feature 2 is a Forest-explore an area where there are many trees. Forests are known as the lungs of the planet. This is because they supply a huge amount of Earth’s oxygen, which animals need to breathe. The trees of a forest give off oxygen as part of a process called photosynthesis. Forest trees also help to protect soil from erosion. They block the forces of wind and water that wear away the land. In addition, forests offer a peaceful place for hiking, camping, bird-watching, and exploring nature (forest activities for children). (Definition from Britannica Kids). CT State Forest Facts: 1) There are 32 State Forests, comprising nearly 170,000 acres of state land; 2) While the oldest State Forest is over 100 years old, the youngest (Centennial Forest) is less than 10 years old; 3) State Forests include a variety of vegetation types; 4) All State Forests are managed for a wide range of goals. As a result, on Connecticut's State Forests, you can see everything from maintained wildlife meadows to mature hardwood forest. One benefit of getting out into the State Forests is to see the results of these various management activities; and 5) Connecticut's State Forests are located throughout the state, with Forests in each of the eight counties. This makes these Forests accessible to just about everyone in the state.

    Ridgelines Spring 2013

    Newsletter of the West Rock Ridge Park Association Spring 2013 Regicide Drive to summit view will open to motorists on Sat., May 25! FROM THE PRESIDENT I had the pleasure of attending Friends of Connecticut State Parks Day at the state capitol on March 20th, together with Bill Doheny, past WRRPA president and current board member, and my wife, Amy. This year is the 100-year anniversary of Connecticut state parks, and there is a wonderful centennial photo display in the Legislative Office Building concourse. We spoke with representatives from 21 other volunteer groups that support our state parks, with DEEP Commissioner Dan Esty, and with our State Senator, Joseph Crisco, who has long been a strong supporter of West Rock Ridge State Park. Senator Crisco was one of the first legislators to join a new initiative supporting state parks and has “adopted” West Rock Ridge State Park; we are hopeful that our state representatives will join him in this initiative. Legislators who adopt a park agree to work with the park’s volunteer organization and with the DEEP to publicize the park and help advocate for the needs of the state park system. State parks are one of Connecticut’s most valuable natural assets. According to a 2011 UConn Economic Study, Connecticut State Parks attract over $1 billion and support over 9,000 jobs each year. Only 74 field staff are currently available to manage the 107 State Parks, and 15 of those staff are eligible for retirement in July, 2013. Because of rescissions and continued attrition, several parks will either not be opened or will have services reduced in 2013.

We’re not just the "Thames main stem." Greetings from the Thames River Basin Partnership. Once again this quarter our partners have proven their ability to work cooperatively on projects compatible with the TRBP Plan of Work and in support of our common mission statement to share organizational resources and to develop a regional approach to natural resource protection. I hope you enjoy reading about these activities as much as I enjoy sharing information about them with you. For more information on any of these updates, just click on the blue website hyperlinks in this e-publication, but be sure to come back to finish reading the rest of the report. Jean Pillo, Watershed Conservation Project Manager Eastern Connecticut Conservation District And TRBP Coordinator Special Presentation If you did not attend the summer TRBP meeting, besides the great view of Long Island Sound from the CT Sea Grant Conference Room, you also missed a presentation given by Connecticut State Conservationist, Tom Morgart of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Tom provided an overview of the changes in the Farm Bill that Congress enacted in 2018. The Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) cap remains at $450,000 through 2023. Farmers that have met the cap under the 2014 farm bill will be reset to zero and be eligible for funding again under the 2018 Farm Bill.

CONNECTICUT 06268 • EDITOR'S FOREWORD The Thames River system is located in a section of southern New England that has escaped the extreme alterations of the industrial revolution and later urbanization. It has, unfortunately, suffered the consequences of dam construction causing the disappearance of anadromous fish, and industrial and domestic pollution which degraded water quality in some areas to a marginal fisheries habitat. Enough unspoiled areas are left, unaltered by dams, pollution and the developer, to reward the knowledgeable observer with a glimpse of what it was and what it could be again. As part of the program for restoration of anadromous fish to the Thames River system, it was decided to make a general biological survey of the system to document present conditions .

These water bodies provide important recreational opportunities, aesthetic values, and ecosystem services that contribute to the quality of life, environment, and economy of the state. Over the past 400 years, Connecticut has undergone significant alterations to its landscape. As a result of these mostly anthropogenic activities, including clearing of forests, agriculture, and urban and rural development, there have been significant impacts to the water quality of Connecticut’s lakes and ponds. While a natural process, the eutrophication of lakes caused by excess nutrient export in runoff has been, and continues to be, a pervasive problem (Siver et al., 1996).

VOLUNTEER HORSE PATROL The Connecticut Horse Council (CHC) partnered with Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) in 2003 to create the Volunteer Horse Patrol (VHP) to ride and serve in State Parks & Forests. This unique program benefits many aspects of the DEP, in helping to patrol and provide assistance to the DEP staff and public visitors to our state forests and parks. This also provides our membership the opportunity to volunteer their time to a community service, a cause that also benefits them and their equine companions. The establishment of this Patrol Unit comes at a critical time, when drastic cuts on our State Budget have caused layoffs, staff & supervisor reductions. This situation is forcing the closure of many state parks & forests and reduction of services due to lack of State Funding. The Volunteer Horse Patrol Program and Policies is based on the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Mounted Patrol Program and the National Park Service's Volunteers in Parks program (VIP). The Patrol operates under the auspices of the Connecticut Horse Council in cooperation with DEP and other land management administrations. The primary responsibility is to serve as auxiliary “eyes and ears” for the protection of the resource and its visitors -- on the lookout for what is going on out on the trails. Members assist with non-enforcement tasks such as promoting trail etiquette as well as provide hands on services maintaining and repairing trails and other facilities.
