HLT: Indian Meadow
"Completing" Harwinton... Again Harwinton Land Trust: Indian Meadow November 2020 Ah, Indian Meadow. Back in 2018 when I "completed" Harwinton, this property was my bugaboo. I knew at the time that a trail was being developed here, but since it wasn't yet, I called the town "complete." Of course, if you know … [Read more...]
Eleanor Buck Wolf Parcel
Buck It Great Meadows Conservation Trust's Eleanor Buck Wolf Parcel, Wethersfield May 2020 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...]
Watertown Land Trust Trails
Watertown Land Trust Trails Bethlehem & Watertown Here we are again... on another land trust intro page with a listing of four trailed properties that may or may not be complete. I've become pretty adept at figuring out these lists when they are not provided by a land trust. (And I get it - keeping up the website … [Read more...]
Lombardi Ridge Preserve & Bobcat Woods
Not a Rest Stop Lombardi Ridge Preserve & Bobcat Woods, Bolton April 2020 These are Bolton Land Trust properties. Anyone who drives the NJ Turnpike is familiar with the Vince Lombardi Rest Stop.

His family was part of the white flight in the 1950's and while Pennsylvania's Chester is now home to an MLS … [Read more...]
Southington Land Conservation Trust
Southington Land Conservation Trust Queen Street. I-84. I-84. Queen Street. I know some Southington residents who are pretty darn happy with their town, and probably don't want outsiders like me urging people to check out the town beyond the major thoroughfares. Well, tough. The town owns and maintains a … [Read more...]
East Lyme Land Trust Trails
East Lyme Land Trust There is a lot packed in to little East Lyme. And I'm not just talking about ticks either. I'm talking about trails. Lots of trails. And lots of entities that maintain those trails. The East Lyme Land Trust is but one. I kind of like the excitement of hiking trails on property owned by … [Read more...]
GNH: Long Wharf Nature Preserve
Gather 'Round Kids Gather New Haven's Long Wharf Nature Preserve June 2019 For those of you that read all my hiking pages, I'm about to sound like a broken record: I love urban trails. Yes, of course, there really no better way to spend a crisp autumn day in Connecticut than traipsing up and down mountains in … [Read more...]
Milford Land Conservation Trust
Milford Land Conservation Trust Milford Another tough one. The Milford Land Conservation Trust has done a great job securing parcels of land all over town. And when it comes to Milford, a lot of that land is marshland. Unhikeable and mostly unkayakable. So cross them off the list. Then most of their other … [Read more...]
