The Shoreline Greenway Trail First Saturday Walk held in Branford on February 4 turned out to be a great day! The weather was beautiful and the crowd of walkers was large! We walked and chatted and got to know each other. We also learned about the development progress of the Shoreline Greenway Trail and plans for continued development! Thanks to Leo Cristofar for leading the walk, to both Leo and Chet Blomquist for sharing all their information, and especially to William Perrelli (www.perrelliphoto.com) for providing the picures you are viewing in the slideshow!
Enjoy the show!
What a great day!

March 3rd “First Saturday” Winter Walk in Guilford at East River Preserve – 9:45am to Noon
February 10, 2012 By
Explore the beauty and expanse of the East River Preserve, the Town’s recent public acquisition, with SGT Board member Ted Braun, an avid hiker and bicyclist. This easy 3-mile walk with some hills will provide a general orientation and map for your future explorations. PARKING: Because there is extremely limited parking in a one-lane path at Preserve entrance, we will meet at the Guilford Lakes Elementary School at the junction of Maupas Rd and No. Madison Rd. at 9:45 AM and carpool the mile to the entrance. DIRECTIONS: I-95, Exit 59, go north on Goose Lane, slight right onto Nut Plains Road for c. 1 mile, right onto North Madison Road a short distance, then left onto Maupas and School. Look for SGT signs. (approx. 3 miles from Route 1/Goose Lane intersection to School)
REMINDER!
