Hikers and trail runners in Connecticut have come together to help restore the state’s famous ‘Blue-blazed’ trail system, which became damaged by violent wildfires and flooding earlier this year.
Organized by the non-profit Connecticut Forest and Parks Association, several different trail running and hiking groups from across the state met at the YMCA Camp Sloper in Southington on Sunday, December 9. Running a raffle and inviting people to take laps of nearby trails, the groups raised funds for a major restoration project to aid trails on Lamentation Mountain and other damaged areas.
