Oh deer! 🦌🍂
With daylight savings this past weekend, the trails will be getting darker earlier in the day. But don’t let this get you down! Deer typically come out around dusk and dawn, meaning that even though it might get dark at 5 p.m., you might catch a glimpse deer grazing in the grass without staying out too late! If you do choose to stay out late on the trails, make sure to come prepared with a flashlight, a map and anything else to make your trail experience as easy and safe as possible! 🔦🗺

Trail report from Eastern CT: many of the trees are just about ready for November and the long winter’s nap that will follow (starting with that extra hour of sleep when we change the clocks this weekend ⏰). The next phase of autumn is setting in as most leaves have fallen. It changes the trail experience, but not for the worse! Check out the stunning spectrum of color still visible as the understory takes the stage on this woodland trail 🍂.
Photo: Whetten Wood (Mansfield, CT); Laura Kelly; a dirt trail is covered with brown fallen leaves, and on either side of the trail are dark green ferns, understory vegetation with a gradient of light green to bright red leaves, and bare overstory trees against a light blue sky.
