Nipmuck State Forest

Nipmuck State Forest Ashford, Stafford, Union, Willington, Woodstock I can't promise you that this page will ever be complete.

New Roxbury Land Trust

The New Roxbury Land Trust Trails Union & Woodstock I'm confused. First by the "New Roxbury" name of course, since this land trust's holdings are in Union and Woodstock... many miles from western Connecticut's Roxbury. Their website does not offer an explanation for their name, but I really don't care. I care more … [Read more...]
