Hm. Angelo Joseph Sferrazza Memorial Park November 2016 When an unassuming man decides to hike every trail in Enfield, he simply drives to the few trailheads in town and goes about his little communes with nature.

Eversource Land Trust
Eversource Land Trust Brooklyn, East Granby, Enfield, Granby, Middletown, New Fairfield, Waterford, Windsor Locks, Surprising, isn’t it? We don’t really think of a giant utility as something that would create and manage a land trust. But here we are. And I’m here because of King’s Island; an oblong piece of … [Read more...]
Vernon’s Town Trails
Vernon's Town Trails Although spliced by I-84, Vernon has a decent number of trails. Many are within earshot of the highway, but that shouldn't stop you. Of course, the CFPA's Shenipsit Trail traverses the town as well. And by town I mean Vernon, not Rockville. Rockville is great and all, but it's merely a part of … [Read more...]

Darling Wildlife Sanctuary
My Little Darlings Darling Wildlife Sanctuary November 2016 I learned of this little sanctuary via the Simsbury Land Trust 2016 Walk Book. But it’s not a Simsbury Land Trust property. To the best of my knowledge, it is a town of Simsbury property. So that’s how I’m treating it. Also, the sign says … [Read more...]
