Manchester Land Conservation Trust
Manchester, East Hartford, Bolton, Vernon, Andover, Glastonbury

Shout out to the MLCT! These guys really made me work to find which of their properties are trailed. I won’t harp on it too much, because they may update the way they present their trails online and that would make my lament obsolete.

This is what a lot of the Manchester hikes look like

This is what a lot of the Manchester hikes look like. This is the Purdy Nature Park Trail

In the spring of 1972 the Land Trust came into existence as a tax-exempt community organization to: “Engage in and otherwise promote for the benefit of the general public, the preservation and conservation of natural resources of the Town of Manchester, including water resources, swamps, woodland, and open spaces, and the plant and animal life therein, and unique scenic, natural sites and historic sites…and to use all property held or controlled…for the benefit of all the inhabitants of the Town of Manchester and exclusively for the conservational, recreational, educational, scientific and historic purposes….”

Buckland Pond

Most of the trailed property is in Manchester, with a few forays into Glastonbury, Vernon, and Bolton. I’ve done far too much research into which of the MCLT properties are “hikeable” and my list below is the result.
