This trail memorializes Dr. Richard H Goodwin, a Professor of botany and ecology at Connecticut College. He was a founding a member of The Nature Conservancy, pioneering the land trust movement, and helping to conserve 10’s of millions of acres of land world-wide. Dr.Goodwin and his wife, Esther, made their home nearby in East Haddam, donating their own land in1960 to establish the Burnham Brook Preserve. They also inspired neighbors and students to protect thousands of acres of land in this region to save our native plants and animals.
In addition to crossing properties owned by three different land trusts, there are two private parcels, a Town Park, and the East Block of the Nehantic State Forest. Most of the trail falls under the Eightmile Wild and Scenic Watershed region with a special protected status.
