The walk at Evergreen Woods hosted by the North Branford Land Conservation Trust yesterday was a great way for families and friends to get out and enjoy some fresh air. Thirty-four people and three dogs scampered along the winding 1.5 mile trails surrounding the complex. Snowdrops and jack-in-the-pulpits were spotted along the trail.
