Redding Land Trust Intro

Redding Land Trust
Redding & Bethel

Hoo boy, Redding has not made this easy on me. In the past, one had to go to Redding and find Redding’s “Book of Trails” in order to have any clue where to hike. In 2019, the town/land trust put the book online, making my life much easier. (This, after driving out there to buy one… a few weeks before some kind soul mailed me one.)

RLT members… Hope this rough crowd doesn’t chase me down!

Even so, Redding’s roads are difficult to navigate and the trails are all sort of interconnected in very confusing ways. I’ve done my best to parse which are land trust (below) and which are town land (over here) – which are all intermixed with state land and CFPA trails and Audubon Society Trails and Nature Conservancy trails… phew. In other words, Redding is pretty awesome.
