River Walk Welcomes Jonah Gray to the Team!

Creating learning opportunities for local youth to build strong connections to the environment is one of River Walk’s most important goals.

River Walk contracts with Greenagers to help maintain the trail through our River Walk internship program. This year Jonah Gray, Greenagers Trails Coordinator, will supervise local interns at River Walk. Jonah was previously a Trail Crew Leader with Greenagers for three seasons. He worked at River Walk in 2024 and 2025 on some of our major improvement projects. Jonah brings an excellent skill set and great enthusiasm for his new role.

Be sure to say hi to Jonah and our Greenager interns when you hit the trail this season!

River Walk is Open for 2026 Season

Come enjoy the trail!

Thankfully, the snow and ice have melted away. All are welcome to walk along the trail and watch the surging Housatonic River as snowmelt makes its way to the Atlantic Ocean.

Each spring our River Walk team starts by planning our major trail maintenance and habitat improvement projects. We look forward to engaging volunteers and providing educational opportunities for all to enjoy!
