In this 3rd and final 'Up Close' video from Hampton, Connecticut's James L Goodwin State Forest, I take a stroll through the grounds of the Youth Group Camp. Again, I've allowed background music to play throughout the footage because the sound of the traffic from the road nearby dominates any sounds of the natural surroundings. If I went deeper into the forest, I expect the audio experience would improve. And yet, it would be more quiet.
The Connecticut Parks website explains that, "Covering more than three square miles, the James L. Goodwin State Forest offers recreation for every season of the year. Fourteen miles of trails, including an equestrian trail and the miles-long Air Line Trail, 135-acre Pine Acres Lake, three large ponds, native plant wildlife gardens, and the Goodwin Conservation Center combine to make this forest an eastern Connecticut treasure. James L. Goodwin was one of the state’s earliest conservationists. After graduating from the Yale School of Forestry in the program’s infancy, Goodwin purchased property in Hampton, in his own words, “…it was my ambition to own, develop, and operate my own timber acres according to the best forestry principles.” He continued to expand and improve his forest lands throughout his life, and in 1964, generously gifted his nearly 2,000-acre personal forest to the state of Connecticut."
