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 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.

Nature Show Wagner Woods, Simsbury Land Trust September 2013 I'll apologize up front. This is one of those pages that I put together for me and my wife to look at in twenty years when we're reminiscing about our sons. So yes, there are two videos below that we both love but which you all won't give a rat's … [Read more...]

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...]

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.

Colchester Land Trust Trails

Colchester Land Trust Trails Look, I haven't stepped foot on a Colchester Land Trust trail as I write this sentence. In situations like this, I go and grab a photo from the land trust in question and post it just below this paragraph. In the curious case of Colchester, this was the only photo available for me to … [Read more...]

BLT: Lombardi Ridge Preserve & Bobcat Woods

Not a Rest Stop Lombardi Ridge Preserve & Bobcat Woods, Bolton April 2020 Anyone who drives the NJ Turnpike is familiar with the Vince Lombardi Rest Stop. It's the one with views of Manhattan across the Hudson River. It's huge. And it's necessarily ugly. The Lombardi Ridge Preserve in Bolton is a very, very … [Read more...]
