Join us for a leisurely guided walk along the Farmington Canal Trail that will focus on natural history, human settlement, and how the two interact. Come to learn more about the Quinnipiac River and its river valley, Goat Island and its immigrant history, native and invasive flora and fauna, old industrial Southington, and more. We will cover a stretch of trail running from F&F Concrete in Plantsville to the area of the dog park on Mill Street. Most of the hike will be on the paved trail, but we will also be walking through the woods of Goat Island, so please wear appropriate footwear. This will be a linear hike rather than a loop, so please be prepared to make your way back to the starting point once we are done – perhaps after refreshing yourself at one of the food and drink establishments in downtown Southington!
