The Friends of East Rock Park will host a Donald Grant Mitchell celebration featuring an informative talk by Channing Harris about the key design features of the Park Plan created by Mitchell for East Rock Park. Channing and volunteers from the Friends group will then lead a relatively flat terrain walk from the Trowbridge Center down along the white trail to the foot bridge, and back across the Mill River and along other trails to College Woods.

Light refreshments will be provided before the talk and after the walk.

Meet at East Rock Park’s Trowbridge Environmental Center at the Corner of Orange and Cold Spring Streets.
