Yup what a come back. At one point in time CT forests were almost all gone due to clear cut for pastures and crops. Now over 68% of the state of CT is forested. Thanks to forward thinking citizens.

Glacier till, up and down the coast. But the CT river valley has some fine soil. It was and is still used to grow finishing tobacco !
