Brisk Winter Walk #9: Saturday, January 31, 2026. 9:00 AM. East Hartford & Wethersfield – Wilson-Carvalho & Hockanum Meadows Parcels & Goodwin South Meadows River Trail

Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 9:00 am. East Hartford. About 4.2 miles, 2.5 hours. Meet Goodwin University’s Bruce Morton, Program Director of Environmental Studies, at Hockanum Park’s Terry Pool Parking Lot, near 356 High Street. We will walk down South Meadow Lane to the South Meadows Trail Pavilion. Explore our Wilson-Carvalho and Hockanum Meadows parcels in the “Wethersfield Triangle” of land marooned on the east side as the river meandered. We’ll observe the tree “obstruction removal” carried out by CAA on the approach to the Brainard field runway. We’ll explore the trails that Goodwin University has constructed with the help of DEEP trail grants and will soon pave from S. Meadow Rd. south along the River to connect with the Putnam Bridge trail.
