Cheshire Land Trust
Cheshire
Cheshire’s kind of a neat town in terms of its geography. It’s big, flat town with a steep wall making its western border. Like, “Come, enjoy Cheshire… just don’t go west.” Of course, that western ridge offers some of the best views and hiking in this part of the state. I’m not making any sense.

Ives Farm is the Trust’s signature property, but there are others. They are another organization that makes it tough to sort out which properties are trailed and which are not. Also, a few that have trails are “partnered properties” with the town or Audubon.
