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 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.

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...]
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.
