Question
Lot's of these in the woods. They appear to be evergreen. Maybe Rubus dalibarda, also known as dewdrop? But Rubus dalibarda is supposed to be rare in Connecticut, and I think I see lots of these. Or how about Viola renifolia, also known as Gray kidney-leaved violet? Links to Google Photos are convenient for me, but maybe you need uploaded images, so I'll try that too. These were next to a fence with woods on one side and a farm on the other side,. https://goo.gl/photos/jhrkBEYz3czomrzG7
Answer
Dear David, the plant you have photographed is Alliaria petiolata (garlic-mustard), a non-native and often invasive plant that originated from the Old World. This species is quite common in southern New England and can be found in a variety of primarily forested settings. Best wishes.
