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...]

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...]
Norwalk Land Trust Trails
Norwalk Land Trust Trails I've written many times about how much I appreciate these coastal Fairfield County land trusts. And Norwalk is the sixth most populous city in the state! The mere fact that there's an active and vibrant land trust there is fantastic. There's only one property with a real trail and … [Read more...]
Chester Land Trust
Chester Land Trust Oh, Chester. Everyone loves Chester. Not quite Essex, but not Deep River either. Chester is lovely. Randomly, my father grew up in Chester, Pennsylvania which is just south of Philadelphia. 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...]
Woodsmen Land Trust
Woodsmen Land Trust East Lyme & Montville This entity has me confused. They've existed for quite some time (since 2011) and... haven't really done all that much. To clarify - they may have been doing a ton of conservation work and stuff I don't know about. What I mean is, they hadn't done anything I'd be interested … [Read more...]
East Lyme Land Trust
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...]
