Description
**THE GIVING TUESDAY HIKES HAVE BEEN POSTPONED TO WEDNESDAY DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER**
Celebrate Giving Tuesday on the trail! Join us on Wednesday for a day of fresh air, community, and connection on the Highlawn Trail in Rockfall! We’ll be leading guided hikes at 10 AM, 1 PM, with a special Moonlit Hike at 6 PM to close the day under the stars.
The 2.2-mile loop takes you through the beautiful Highlawn Forest, a hidden gem nestled behind CFPA’s headquarters on the Middletown/Middlefield town line. Once open farm fields, this second-growth forest now features conifer plantations, mixed hardwood stands, and red maple swamps that provide habitat for a variety of wildlife. The trails are mostly flat and gentle—perfect for young or beginner hikers—and follow old fire lanes from the property’s days as a tree farm.
Come celebrate the spirit of Giving Tuesday by spending time in nature, exploring Connecticut’s trails, and supporting the work that keeps them open and thriving.
