CT TRAILS DAY EVENT:

This year, Avalonia’s is hosting three events during the annual Connecticut Trails Day event. 

This hike is at one of Avalonia’s newest acquisitions and only Norwich property, Cedar Wood Preserve —47 acres of field, woods, and water. This 1.4-mile hike goes through an upper trail with open fields and good birding opportunities and through a lower forested trail. This will be a moderate hike with some hills/slopes and a narrow, somewhat precarious path crossing a dam in the forested section. As funding becomes available, Avalonia plans to create maximum accessibility on the mostly flat upper trail.

Avalonia is hosting this adventure, but please register on the CT TRAILS DAY website. Registration opens May 10th.
