A Wee Bit Nippy…

 

Events to take place April 12, May 21, and June 7

 

This spring, Greenbelt will host a series of free guided walks in the DeNormandie Woods Conservation Area, an environmentally rich 330-acre property that spans Gloucester and Manchester. The walks will take place on April 12, May 21, and June 7. Space is limited, pre-registration required.

 

In January, Greenbelt successfully completed its campaign to acquire and protect this valuable acreage, ensuring the land’s long-term preservation. This landmark acquisition safeguards vital natural habitats, an established trail network, and critical watershed lands, guaranteeing they remain protected from development for generations to come.

Part of a vast 1,400-acre expanse of protected land, DeNormandie boasts a breathtaking landscape of hardwood forests, rugged granite outcrops, rocky ledges, and a rich variety of terrains and elevations, all contributing to its exceptional natural beauty. Additionally, the property includes the headwaters of Cat Brook and Wolf Trap Brook, playing a vital role in preserving local water quality.

 

Since acquiring DeNormandie Woods, Greenbelt has been focused on mapping the land, marking trails, expanding a small parking area, and developing wayfinding signage. A special celebration event to commemorate its permanent protection is being planned for the fall.

I took a cue from Joey’s recent post about the beauty along our harbor behind Maritime Gloucester on the Harbor Loop and went down there myself. I visit that area frequently and there’s always something beautiful to share. On this morning, there was work being done (no doubt volunteers). I recommend this stroll often and I stand by that recommendation once again. PS Will I see you at the Maritime Gloucester Kick Off Fundraiser April 11? Ticket info at this link.

RLS and Dyskinesia are two conditions are two conditions that cause involuntary muscle movement in those struggling with these conditions. CBD when combined with a TRPV-1 Blocker, has been shown to reduce symptoms of these conditions, supporting individuals in minimizing involuntary movement and thus having greater control over their muscle groups in general.
