  • 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. CT DEEP State Forest Suggested Location(s): • Cockaponset State Forest in Chester and Haddam, various Maps (read about the history of this forest) • Nehantic State Forest in Lyme, East Lyme, Forest Map Lyme, Forest Map East Lyme (read about the history of this forest).
