Land Trust Trails Intro

Land Trust Trails Intro

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...]

NCLT: Firefly Sanctuary

Marvin, Massarella, & Friends Firefly Sanctuary New Canaan Land Trust, New Canaan November 2020 First, let's take a moment to recognize the fact that New Canaan has an active land trust and that they are involved with preserving forests and fields in a town where land is a tad bit expensive. Shout out to … [Read more...]

BLT: Welch Parcels

Welp... That's Welch Welch Parcels, 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 easy to … [Read more...]

New Roxbury Land Trust

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...]

GMCT: The Wood Parcel

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. Sounds impressive. And I'm not here to denigrate the fine work these folks do, as it's as important to protect land in … [Read more...]

Hockanum River Trail 24: Pleasantview Marsh

So Pleasant Hockanum River Trails (VGV): Pleasantview Marsh Trail, Vernon ~0.3 miles total, November 2020 This short stretch of the HRT was created in 2020. If you are reading these Hockanum River Trails south to north, you have already read the Oakland Trail page from down in Manchester. If you haven’t, it’s … [Read more...]

Heritage Land Preservation Trust

Heritage Land Preservation Trust Trails I am writing this sentence a few days shy of 2021, which means I've been writing and maintaining this website for well over 14 years. I've hiked hundreds of miles around Connecticut and have created hundreds of "intro" pages for land trusts and other similar entities. … [Read more...]

North Branford Land Conservation Trust

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

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...]
