Norm Berg, FVTC secretary, has been granted the Advocacy Award by the Connecticut Greenways Council.

Norm is a tireless, proactive volunteer who collects and coordinates descriptive information for points of interest, infrastructure, accessibility, amenities, and parking lot conditions, while coordinating with us to get the best information onto CT Trail Finder so trail users know what to expect. Norm serves as the Secretary of the Farmington Valley Trails Council (FVTC) and is a key member of the Farmington Canal Rail-to-Trail Association. Norm is ever present at all the CT Greenway Council monthly meetings, events and trail symposiums and always willing to lend support and recommendations.  Most recently, he has presided over a complete re-do and publication of the mapping of the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail system.
