Ava Malagisi from Ridgefield helps her younger brother Max get the bell on his bicycle to ring while riding as their mother walks on the Norwalk River Valley Trail, (NRVT,) along the Wilton Loop portion of the trail in a previous year.

The Friends of the NRVT, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to the creation of the 30 mile, multi-use, handicap accessible, soft surface trail running through the heart of Fairfield County from Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, through Wilton, Ridgefield and Redding, and ending at Rogers Park in Danbury.

Snowdrops are up at the Weir Farm on the Ridgefield-Wilton line, responding to the recent stretch of spring-like weather. The true coming of Spring is March 19 this year. Ridgefield's Board of Selectmen noted recently that the town had been fortunate to make it through February without much need for snowplowing. But the area does have a long tradition that, most years, there's a fairly substantial snowstorm around Easter, which is April 12 this year. The world's warming climate may have something to say about that, however.
