Tripping on Travel: James L Goodwin State Forest 2, Hampton, CT

As I enter a section of the state forest across the street from where I first was, I begin part 2 of this up close look at the property's natural surroundings. In this setting, however, the sound of traffic from the main road, Rt 6, is the dominant audio. So I've used soft music throughout to play in the background. This section appears as if an educational garden walking tour, when it's in season. For my purposes, however, I capture the off-season Autumn setting, when people are not there.

The Connecticut Parks website explains that, "Covering more than three square miles, the James L. Goodwin State Forest offers recreation for every season of the year. Fourteen miles of trails, including an equestrian trail and the miles-long Air Line Trail, 135-acre Pine Acres Lake, three large ponds, native plant wildlife gardens, and the Goodwin Conservation Center combine to make this forest an eastern Connecticut treasure. James L. Goodwin was one of the state’s earliest conservationists. After graduating from the Yale School of Forestry in the program’s infancy, Goodwin purchased property in Hampton, in his own words, “…it was my ambition to own, develop, and operate my own timber acres according to the best forestry principles.” He continued to expand and improve his forest lands throughout his life, and in 1964, generously gifted his nearly 2,000-acre personal forest to the state of Connecticut."
