Dear Friend of the Farmington Canal Greenway,
We wanted to wish you a happy holiday season and provide you with a few important updates:
* World Day of Remembrance For Road Traffic Victims, Sunday, November 17, 1 - 2:30pm, Goffe Street Park
We are honored to have the statewide commemoration event for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in New Haven this year, at Goffe Street Park. Hope you can join us on November 17 at 1pm for this powerful event remembering victims of traffic violence in New Haven and around the state. Please let us know if you can volunteer at the event (or just show up by 11am the morning of the event to help with set-up).

* New Haven Coalition for Active Transportation (NCAT) Bike / Walk / Transit Networking & Community Dinner, Tuesday, November 19, 6-8pm
Join us and many other trails, biking, walking, transit and safe streets organizations on Tuesday, November 19 for the annual Bike / Walk / Transit Community Networking Dinner. It's social, celebratory, and FREE! Register here.
* Rails-to-Trails Magazine Photo Shoot, Saturday, November 23, 10am @ the Newhallville Learning Corridor
We are very excited that the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail is being featured in the Winter 2024-25 edition of Rails to Trails Magazine, the publication of the national Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. Please join us on November 23 at 10am at the Learning Corridor (Hazel/Shelton) in Newhallville for a photo shoot with a RTC photographer who will be capturing images of local trail users for the magazine, which goes out to the Conservancy's tens of thousands of members. Bring your running shoes, bike, e-bike, rollerblades, or whatever you normally have with you when using the Trail! We want the full diversity of trail users to be represented as much as possible. Rain cancels.
* Event Recap: Get A Light" Bike Safety Giveaway, November 4
Thanks to Elm City Cycling for joining us at the Learning Corridor and handing out bike lights to Trail users once again this year. We greatly appreciate ECC's efforts (going back many years!) to keep everyone safe, especially our many bike commuters who continue to use the Trail after the end of daylight savings, which is sadly one of the most treacherous times of year for cyclists.

* Event Recap: Fall Foliage Ride, October 26
We had stunningly perfect weather for our annual fall foliage ride, and the foliage was at or near peak! We made it about 8 miles up to the spectacular section of trail near Sleeping Giant in Hamden and back. Thanks to all our ride participants, especially the many new faces!
