Come enjoy our Branford Supply Pond Walk with us on December 17th, starting at 1:00 PM. We will meet at the trailhead parking lot at 101 Short Rocks Road. Halfway through the walk, there is a partially-decorated Christmas tree pleading for ornamentation, so you might want to bring a discarded ornament to contribute to the fun. We walk gingerly over the varied terrain with ruts and stones, making the path quite rugged for 1.6 miles. In case of rain, the walk is canceled at 8:30 AM on the shorelinevillagect.org website. Text (203) 747-5939 with any questions.
