Southern Connecticut is not known for its mountains, so the expansive view from the 644-foot summit of Mt. Pisgah in Durham is the first surprise that greets hikers ascending the Mattabesett Trail.

Conservation biologist Jim Arrigoni is your guide on this virtual safari, highlighting unique ecological characteristics both large and small.
