Come to tomorrow’s trail work
day and give back to the AT! Then join us for National
and Connecticut Trails Weekend, with hikes all over
Connecticut. Details below. And don’t forget to check
out our full schedule of hikes, rides, paddles and
more.
Give A Day to the Appalachian Trail Saturday, May 13, 9 am, Housatonic Meadows SP Picnic Area, Cornwall Bridge
The AT winds 52 miles through Connecticut. Whenever I hike the trail, I marvel that it's not washed out or
blocked by blown-down trees. Steep sections have rock steps to make the path safer and prevent erosion. All
this is made possible by hundreds of volunteer hours, and "Give A Day" is your chance to take part.

here for all the details including driving directions. We have projects suitable for first-timers to experts. In the picture,
volunteers grade, or "bench", a relocated section of the AT in a past Give-A-Day project.
National Trails Day Saturday-Sunday, June 3-4, starting times and locations vary Trails Day is a nation-wide event to get you
outdoors and onto the trail. Here in Connecticut, we
celebrate all weekend with more than 14 outings planned
by CT Chapter leaders.
