Welp... That's Welch Bethany Land Trust, Bethany January 2021 An important piece of information you should know when setting out to hike little parcels and preserves in The New Haven County Black Hole (Bethany, Prospect, northern Woodbridge, and eastern Beacon Falls) is that there is often nowhere "official" or … [Read more...]

New Roxbury Land Trust
The New Roxbury Land Trust Trails Union & Woodstock I'm confused. First by the "New Roxbury" name of course, since this land trust's holdings are in Union and Woodstock... many miles from western Connecticut's Roxbury. Their website does not offer an explanation for their name, but I really don't care. I care more … [Read more...]
Waterford Land Trust
Waterford Land Trust Trails Waterford If you're actually reading this - and I've a long standing thought that literally no one reads these blurby paragraphs about nothing on these types of pages that I create just to give myself more work - know that this is nearly my very last land trust introduction page that … [Read more...]

A Place Just For Me Great Meadows Conservation Trust's Wood Parcel, Wethersfield January 2021 The Great Meadows Conservation Trust holds properties in Glastonbury, Rocky Hill, and Wethersfield.

North Branford Land Conservation Trust
North Branford Land Conservation Trust Trails I feel kind of bad for North Branford. The local water concern owns a third of the land in town and only has trails on a very small parcel of that land. That doesn't leave much for a local land trust, but their website does state in 2020 that they do plan on adding … [Read more...]
Guilford Land Conservation Trust
Guilford Land Conservation Trust Trails You know you have some good stuff as a land trust when the CFPA includes one of your properties in their Blue Trails Challenge list. Such is the case with the GLCT's Westwoods property. While that is certainly the land trusts - and arguably Guilford's - crown jewel, there's a … [Read more...]
Haddam Land Trust
Haddam Land Trust Trails Bam! Go Forth! To Bamforth! And all the other Haddam Land Trust trailed properties! Man, there's a lot to hike in Haddam. Several state parks, a large state forest, Mattabassett goodness... on and on. And I promise that I won't overlook what the HLT does here either. And they're … [Read more...]
