Wednesday Walk at Dorothy Goodwin Reserve
August 2, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
Join us at the Dorothy Goodwin Reserve in Mansfield, CT for a short but beautiful woodland walk.
The 0.6-mile trail runs in a narrow loop to the rear of the property where it crosses a small brook. The eastern side of the reserve contains a hemlock grove and a a magnificent knoll with exposed ledge. The reserve continues through an open wooded area with stone walls and large trees to another hemlock grove and a small brook.
This will be one of our shorter hikes but that just means we can take our time to observe the beautiful boulders, stream, and forested habitat. Bring a loupe or magnifying glass and we can take a close look at lichens or slime molds.

Parking is along Browns Rd.
The walk begins at 8:00 a.m. and will be cancelled in the event of rain. Bring water, bug spray or net, and appropriate hiking gear as needed.
I will post on Instagram and Facebook as well as this page if we decide to cancel the walk due to weather or other, unforeseeable circumstances.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me, Michelle Poudrette, the Development and Communications Manager, at (860) 429-9023, or email me at michelle.poudrette@joshuastrust.org. Registration is not required.
We look forward to seeing you in Mansfield.
