TLGV offers Walktober Redux<br />
We’re showing our gratitude<br />
for our wide open spaces<br />
and amazing communities<br />
Thanksgiving weekend as<br />
TLGV hosts a Walktober<br />
Redux. We’re welcoming everyone<br />
to join us in celebration<br />
of the holidays and an<br />
appreciation of the wonders<br />
of <strong>The</strong> Last Green Valley National<br />
Heritage Corridor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Walktober Redux<br />
lineup includes:<br />
TLGV Natchaug Trail<br />
#OptOutside Hike<br />
Join Chief Ranger Bill Reid<br />
to #OptOutside with a Walktober<br />
Redux hike at 9 am<br />
Nov. 26 on the Natchaug<br />
Trail in Eastford. <strong>The</strong> hike<br />
will take us through a variety<br />
of terrain and along the<br />
beautiful Natchaug River<br />
and past Beaverdam Marsh.<br />
Our route will take us past<br />
or near historic structures,<br />
such as the homestead of<br />
Gen. Nathaniel Lyon and the<br />
old Civilian Conservation<br />
Corps camp. Along the way<br />
we’ll learn about the forest<br />
around us and the history<br />
of the location. We will also<br />
plan a stop at Gen. Lyon Memorial<br />
Park for a rest and a<br />
snack. <strong>The</strong> hike is just more<br />
than 3 miles and includes<br />
a narrow forest trail with<br />
stream crossings, muddy<br />
spots, surface rocks and<br />
roots and about 400 feet in<br />
elevation. It is a moderate to<br />
difficult hike and is not recommended<br />
for people with<br />
mobility difficulty. <strong>The</strong> hike<br />
is expected to be from 9 a.m.<br />
to noon. RSVP is required.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a limit of 20 people.<br />
Please contact Bill Reid at<br />
860-774-3300 or Bill@tlgv.org<br />

the outdoors.<br />
