"Shut the Barn Door!" Western Barndoor Hill Preserve, Granby May 2014 Those of you who have read through my various hikes in the upper Connecticut River Valley know that I have an affinity for the area. And while I usually cite Simsbury and Canton because they are closest to my home in West Hartford, but Granby … [Read more...]

JT: Whetten Woods Preserve
The Greatest Story Ever Told Whetton Woods Preserve May 30, 2014 This is a Joshua's Trust property. Praise be. PTL. I believe! God is good! (I don't believe, actually, and please just ignore this page if you are an easily offended religious person. Thanks!) I made really good time from a work … [Read more...]
Albert E. Moss Sanctuary
Frankly, I Expected More Moss Albert E. Moss Sanctuary, Mansfield May 30, 2014 I had some time and I had a map. I needed no other reasons to get in my first official Mansfield Town Trail - oh, other than the fact that I was literally one minute away from the trailhead I guess. UConn/Storrs has changed so … [Read more...]
Mansfield’s Town Trails
Mansfield’s Town Trails Hellooooo Mansfield! I used to live in you! Many different parts of you, actually. I lived in your Jungle at UConn – Middlesex 4th Represent! And I lived in an assortment of random off-campus dwellings during the summers of my UConn experience. I have shopped in your woefully outdated and … [Read more...]
Joshua’s Trust Intro
Joshua’s Tract Conservation and Historic Trust Andover, Ashford, Chaplin, Columbia, Coventry, Eastford, Franklin, Hampton, Lebanon, Mansfield, Scotland, Tolland, Willington, Windham Whoa!

Mary Edwards Mountain Property
Mary, Mary, Why You Buggin? Mary Edwards Mountain Property, Granby May 2014 The GLT has added a trail or two since we hiked here. North Granby. North Granby? Of course it’s just the northern part of Granby proper, but it really has a distinct flavor of its own. And that flavor is beautiful and remote. North … [Read more...]
Blackledge Falls
”Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls...” Blackledge Falls, Glastonbury April 27, 2014 This hike was part of a twofer. That’s right, I was putting my boys through the paces – first a few miles away at Shoddy Mill Preserve and now here at Blackledge Falls near Glastonbury’s border with Hebron. (On subsequent days, … [Read more...]
Shoddy Mill Preserve
Not Too Shoddy Shoddy Mill Preserve, Glastonbury April 27, 2014 I’ve been on a kick lately hiking with my sons. Credit the endless winter of 2013-14 and our shared need to just get outside now that the weather has warmed above freezing. (That and my OCD telling me that build out my new CTMQ sections on land … [Read more...]
Aspetuck Land Trust Intro
Aspetuck Land Trust Bridgeport, Easton, Weston, Fairfield, Wilton & Westport Knowing what I know of Easton and Weston, I would certainly expect there to be a large and organized land trust there. There is pretty much no development in those two towns – which is wholly by writ and design. The archaic bylaws of … [Read more...]
Tolland’s Town Trails
Tolland’s Town Trails Tolland has done me a favor and I love them for it. You see, when I first put this page together years ago, there were “competing” Tolland town trail resources. It appears that they’ve coalesced and now most of what I am calling Tolland’s Town Trails all fall under the Tolland Conservation … [Read more...]
