The Last Green Valley remains 78 percent forest and farmlands and has hundreds of miles of hiking and water trails, thousands of acres of preserved open space, many state forests and parks, and more than one hundred clean lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. It is the third largest watershed draining into Long Island Sound. The region was designated the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor by Congress in 1994, the “Last Green Valley” in the most densely populated area of the country.
