"Getting out for a hike is good for everybody. It's great for our families. It's great for exercise, it keeps us fit and in good shape. Obviously, our forests do a lot for us, they filter our water. They protect our wildlife they provide relief from everyday life. In Connecticut, there's a trail close to most everybody within 15 minutes."
