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). -

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. -
