Salem Land Trust
Salem

Salem, Connecticut. “The town with that roundabout? The one where the highway just ends? The one that’s not the one with the witches?” Yes, yes, yes. But it’s also the town with a bunch of preserved land with trails! Some of them a bit mysterious, and some of them a bit confusing! That’s our Salem, and it’s surely better than that other Salem, right? (Both are better than Salem, Oregon. My wife and I have stayed in many hotels all over the country and world and she always comes back to our night in Salem because of the poor experience we had there. Not really fair to indict Oregon’s capital city based off of one night in a crappy hotel, but… it’s not like anyone from there is going to read this page.)

Salem Land Trust is a member, along with the Lyme Conservation Land Trust and the East Haddam Land Trust, of the tri-town federally designated ‘Wild and Scenic” Eightmile River Watershed Management Committee. This organization is responsible, in some way, For the Richard Goodwin Trail that courses through Salem. Eh, I figure it all out as I course my way through town.
