Tom & Ginnie Howard Educational Preserve

November 5, 2026 by Steve Leave a Comment

Mow Howard Tom & Ginnie Howard Educational Preserve, East Granby November 2025 This is a Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy property. I love how active our state's land trusts are. The 2020's have brought many consolidations. When I started this website, let's say there were 110 land trusts. Now let's say there … [Read more...]

Constance Baker Motley Preserve

October 29, 2026 by Steve 2 Comments

From Little Rock to Big Rocks Constance Baker Motley Preserve, Chester October 2026 Chester is a lovely riverside town. Most of us are aware of the downtown core of restaurants and art galleries, but outside of that, who really knows Chester? Especially the western half of it on the "other side" of Route 9? The … [Read more...]

Madeline Regan Preserve

October 19, 2026 by Steve Leave a Comment

A Proper Madeleines Has Ridges Madeline Regan Preserve, Tolland September 2026 This is a Joshua's Trust property. With luck, your household will have a person who hikes and/or enjoys geology and a person, who might be the same person, who likes baking and/or eating and appreciating baked goods. If that's the … [Read more...]

Westbrook Land Conservation Trust Trails

October 3, 2026 by Steve Leave a Comment

Westbrook Land Conservation Trust I'm putting this page together in 2026, 20 years after I started poking around land trusts. They never had any trails, despite all the land they protected - a far more noble mission than creating trails for me. On a whim I decided to look closer at the WLCT and found that they... … [Read more...]

Wojan Woods

September 29, 2026 by Steve 3 Comments

Sure, (Wo)jan Wojan Woods, West Hartford December 2025 This is a Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy property. I hiked this trail in three minutes. You, too, can "hike" this trail in three minutes. You can jog it in one. You can hike this trail in less time than it will take you to read about this trail. … [Read more...]

Morris Land Trust Trails

September 11, 2026 by Steve Leave a Comment

Morris Land Trust Trails The Morris Land Trust was birthed the same year as this website: 2006. Therefore, I have a special fondness for it. I knew of its existence for two decades before finding out, in 2026, that since their founding, they have cleared and blazed two trails in two of their holdings. … [Read more...]

Nod Way Trails

September 6, 2026 by Steve Leave a Comment

Tinkering Around Nod Way Trails, Avon Land Trust September 2026 This is an Avon Land Trust property. I hiked this property in 2012, but I'd been tinkering with the idea of revisiting the trails for a few reasons. For one, they're very near my house, so why not? Two, the Avon Land Trust has improved their … [Read more...]

Berlin Land Trust Trails

Evans Family Meadows

January 27, 2026 by Steve 1 Comment

Good Times Evans Family Meadows, Bloomfield November 2026 This is a Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy property. Life is funny. I was on my 2025 CTMQ hiatus, necessitated by my career and my son's activities. I had just simply stopped doing "CTMQ stuff" for a while, and I was enjoying it. I spent several … [Read more...]
