Bethany Land Trust

Bethany Land Trust Trails
Bethany & Beacon Falls

Connecticut has three towns with fairly common female names. The interesting thing about this is that each town bearing a feminine name sort of matches the type of woman I think about when I picture a woman with that name.

Madison: Wealthy, white, yuppie, long straight hair, uppity.
Sharon: Older, stodgy, uptight, woodsy.
Bethany: Wallflower, plain, quiet, never know where she is, exactly.

Don’t bother arguing my comparisons. It’s just science. Although maybe my walks through Bethany will change my perception a bit. Betany Land Trust has improved their website and trails so much since I started this website; it’s truly incredible. They have some fantastic properties – and some ludicrous ones they’ve trailed, so let’s get to it.

The Preserves/Hikes:

Bethany Farms
Delano Nature Sanctuary & Rodell’s Roost for Robins
Grobe Preserve
Hein Trails
Hidden Brook Preserve
Hershman’s Hollow
Ida Carrington Lowell Land
Mendell’s Folly
Split Rock/Podoloff
Spykman Presere
Three Sisters Preserve
Van Epps Preserve
Watch Hill
Welch Parcels
Whispering Pines Preserve
Woodward Nature Preserve
