Come Explore Connecticut's
Greenways: Greenways are linear open spaces that can
help conserve native landscapes and ecosystems by protecting,
maintaining, and restoring natural connecting corridors.
They can provide opportunities for recreation, exercise,
and alternative transportation. In addition, these areas
can separate and buffer incompatible adjacent land uses
and promote economically efficient and productive uses for
lands which may be marginal for development. Greenways can
also contribute to local tourism and to the preservation
of scenic, cultural, and historic assets in the state.
