Happy Autumn!
CHC has been very busy the past few months, so this is an update on our work and a request for volunteers.
ATTENTION TRAIL RIDERS & TRAIL ORGANIZATIONS
The Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection is cracking down on illegal ATV/Dirt bike use on trails. They are seeking assistance from the public to assist with the identification of illegal motorized vehicles on state lands.
This is an ongoing survey to collect data. Please report any sightings. If you can get pictures of the vehicles or catch someone unloading or get the license plate that would be ideal! Save this link to your mobile devices and/or copy the QR code.
Organizations, please consider posting this information and keeping this up as a featured item on your FB page, send in email/ newsletter. Below is the LINK for instructions to report illegal use on ALL state land. Click on the reporting form for CT trail users, share the link with others.

We are asking organizations to please consider posting this information and keeping this up as a featured item on your FB page, send in email/ newsletter.
We are asking for volunteers to promote horses at public events with the DEEP “No Child Left Inside” programs. See attached for dates. If you have a safe horse or pony , please consider bringing them to one of the 3 events scheduled. Please contact me with any of the events that you possibly can attend.
“Share the Trail” Courtesy Education Events
Can you help to set up a table at one of your local parks to help educate around the state? (We’ll give you material to do so – Contact Diane Ciano)
Two members of CHC and the Equine Advisory Council have set up educational tables at trail heads/parking lots in parks that have issues with unleashed dogs and bicyclists. It is a very simple set up that we ask you to do in your area of the state. CHC will provide you with materials, we can only be strong with our members helping. We are all volunteers and if each of us can take a few hours to help out to promote and educate people about horses we can do so much.
If you have not yet joined CHC, please consider supporting our efforts.
Thank you
