Kongscut Land Trust Intro

Kongscut Land Trust Trails
Glastonbury

Kongscut is certainly one of the most interesting land trust names in the state. It certainly doesn’t mean anything to anyone who doesn’t know offhand that it comes from a Native American Indian woes meaning “place of wild goose”. Furthermore, the name was chosen because at the time, they figured they’d be able to serve other neighboring towns like Bolton and/or Marlborough. (Bolton subsequently got its own Land Trust.)

Glastonbury is a growing town, but also has remained cognizant of its abundant natural resource. They have spent a lot of money preserving open space, even as developers build massive new houses on its hillsides. The town has seemed to find a nice middle ground, and it should be proud of that. While you’re patting yourself on the back, Glastonbury, I’m going to get hiking.
