Suburban Hiking Program At Plumb Library In Shelton

SHELTON – Plumb Memorial Library, located at 65 Wooster Street in Shelton, will be welcoming Natural Resource Manager Teresa Gallagher for a set of programs on ​“Suburban Hiking 101” in Shelton and beyond. The talks will be held on Tuesday, February 18 at 6:00 pm and February 22 at 10 and again on March 4th at 6:00 pm.

This talk is designed for people who are seeking the skills and confidence to explore Shelton’s 32-mile trail system (and beyond). Topics include being prepared, finding your way, evaluating trail hazards, and the benefits of local hiking. How do you keep from getting lost? What if there’s a bear? What’s the best way to avoid ticks? Teresa will discuss the answers to these common questions and give some practical tips for the trails. 

Teresa Gallagher has been the City’s Natural Resource Manager since 2006, making use of her degrees in environmental science and geology. She supports the Shelton Trails Committee and has been involved with the creation and maintenance of the City’s trail system since the mid-1990’s.
