The 19th Annual Walktober Celebration is The Last Green Valley, Inc., (TLGV) listing of some 125 walks, paddles and events for October and November. For a brochure or details (everything from history to mushroom hunts and waterways) see http://www.tlgv.org.
A new program, WalkCT, is part of Connecticut Forest & Park Association's mission to "foster Connecticut as a state where sidewalks meet trails, where cities are linked to towns, and no resident is further than 15 minutes away from a great walk."
Their online resource www.walkct.org is a clearinghouse of information on trails and pathways, outdoor events, and healthy living. Check out listings of special events at http://www.ctwoodlands.org/events.
(And if you see me walking out there with a gaggle of dogs, it's how I clear my mind, get calm, stay fit, and perk ideas into stories.)
