The report provides information on the acquisition of land or interests in land by the state, a municipality, water company or nonprofit organization using funds authorized for the Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Program established under Sections 7‐131d and the Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Program established under Sections 23‐73 to 23‐79 of the Connecticut General Statutes. Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant Program The Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant Program provides grants to municipalities and private nonprofit land conservation organizations for the acquisition of open space land and to water companies to acquire land to be classified as Class I or Class II watershed land. The State of Connecticut receives a conservation and public access easement on property acquired to ensure that the property will be protected and available to residents of Connecticut as open space in perpetuity. There were no open space and watershed acquisition grants closed in January 2013. Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Program The Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Program is the State of Connecticut’s primary program for the acquisition of lands for the beneficial use and enjoyment of the public as additions to the State’s system of parks, forests, wildlife, fisheries and natural resource management areas.

Fall 2004 Intrepid Hikers Raise Money for Meshomasic Land Preservation On October 17 three members of the Meshomasic Hiking Club hiked 45 miles on the Airline Trail to raise money and awareness for the need to protect the Meshomasic Forest Landscape. This area, designated by The Nature Conservancy as one of Connecticut's Last Great Places, includes portions of Portland and East Hampton here in northern Middlesex County. The Meshomasic Forest Landscape spans seven towns in three counties from Portland’s Great Hill Pond to Manchester’s Case Mountain. Among the important natural features of the area are Meshomasic State Forest, New England’s oldest state forest, Gay City State Park, Meshomasic (a Native American word meaning the place of many snakes) and Kongscut Mountain, as well as the watersheds of the Connecticut River, Wangunk Meadows and the Salmon River. In order to further protection of this large forest block and its diverse wildlife, in September 2003 The Middlesex Land Trust created Meshomasic Forever Paula Rose Wild, a fund to support acquisition of private parcels in Hikers George Rolland, John LeShane, and Chuck Bernstein and around Meshomasic State Forest.

Nutrition, C.W.C, Candidate for S.F.N. certification (Specialist in Fitness Nutrition), Volunteer for JillianMichaels.com New London Healthy Living Examiner (Examiner.com) GO FISH! There are many benefits to fish, including how easy it is to prepare. After you read about the many benefits of fish, give the recipe included in this nweek's Nugget a try and feel free to send me your feedback and any topic suggestions for the next Nugget at the above email address: High in protein, low in calories High in Omega-3s (especially salmon, Atlantic mackerel and herring, sardines, sablefish, anchovies, and farmed oysters) White varieties are low in fat Loaded with vitamins and minerals (including iodine, iron, and choline) Important for brain development in infants and young children (may lessen the effects of dyslexia, autism, hyperactivity, and ADD) Seafood in general cuts the risk for heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, stroke, diabetes, and inflammatory diseases (i.e. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)) The key to a healthy version of this powerhouse food is to stick with fish that is prepared by baking or broiling (stay away from the fried/processed versions!!). Also, try to buy seafood that is caught or farmed in an ecologically sound manner.

  • MHC 2018 Year in Review

    MHC 2018 Year in Review

    MHC 2018 Year In Review 2018 was another great year of hiking for the MHC. We also had a year of exciting weather that affected some of our hikes and our lovely forests, in particular, Sleeping Giant, which was destroyed by a tornado in May and is still closed. Mother Nature periodically reminds us of her awesome power so we cannot take her for granted! Photos: Jack D. Morris Between scheduled and short-notice hikes, the club offered a hike just about every day of 2018 and hike attendance has been very good. We discovered some wonderful new preserves and enjoyed old favorites. Also, summer paddles continue to be a popular activity. Hike Leader Reports: Following, please find reports of several hike leaders but note there are others we need to thank: Bob Bolt and Doxie, Ron and Andrea Kowalsky, Alan Hurst, John Fry, Karen Cassidy, Connie Rokicki, Jack Morris and Glenda Rose. Everyone should consider leading a hike. The club has a short document of new hiker guidelines which you can obtain by asking Tony for a copy. Pick a favorite trail and either ask Tony to schedule it or announce it as a short-notice hike. You CAN do it! Please enjoy the imbedded photos by various club members, but note that for an annual collection of beautiful, professional photographs, be sure to go to the website of our own Tom Wells. Respectfully submitted, Glenda M. Rose, MHC Historian MHC 2018 Year In Review President Tony Razel’s Report: Winter of 2018 was not particularly good for cross-country skiing due to a paucity of snow.
  • Walking Guide

    Walking Guide

    Walking Guideto the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor We offer these suggestions for a pleasant walking experience: e Conditions of trails change according to the weather, the seasons and standards of ownership. Some trails are more rugged and isolated than others. Proper precautions should be taken. e Tell a responsible person the destination and estimated time of return for all trips. e If you become lost — stay put and wait to be found. A sig- naling device, such as a whistle is a useful addition to your daypack. e Wear footwear that provides proper support for hiking. e Dress in clothing that protects against deer ticks, other insects and the weather. e Include rain gear in your daypack. e Carry water and supplemental snacks. e Locate and use a trail map for the area. e Trail Courtesy: Leave no trace. Take nothing, leave noth- ing behind. e Caution should be used during hunting season in spring and fall, and some areas should be avoided.
