Land Trust Me, You Don't Want to Do This Connecticut’s Land Trusts & Their Trails For several years, this introductory paragraph used to say some stuff about how this page was ridiculous because no way would I ever even consider hiking all of the trails on all of our various land trusts’ properties. I just didn’t … [Read more...]
Clinton Land Conservation Trust Intro
Clinton Land Conservation Trust Trails Clinton The longest walk most people take in Clinton is probably from one end of the outlet stores to the other. Not us though... the CTMQ-types who'd rather walk in the woods. I am pleased to see that Clinton has some woods in which to walk. So walk the Clinton woods we … [Read more...]
Plymouth Land Trust Intro
Plymouth Land Trust Trails Plymouth I don’t have any rational reason as to why, but as I write this before I’ve stepped foot on any Plymouth Land Trust trail, I’m pulling for them.
