Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy (formerly Wintonbury Land Trust)
Bloomfield, East Granby, & Windsor
In April 2023 the East Granby, Wintonbury (Bloomfield), and West Hartford Land Trusts merged to form the Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy. These consolidations make sense for a dozen reasons and I suspect we’ll see more of them across the state in the coming years and decades. Now if only Connecticut’s towns would do the same…
East Granby and Bloomfield have a bunch of trailed properties; some pretty darn great, some not so great – but my hometown of West Hartford has exactly zero land trust trails, and I don’t ever expect that to change. (There are still important protected parcels of course.) Let’s hike!
The Hikes:

LaSallette Trail
Beacon Hill Preserve (Potential future trails)
Evans Family Meadows (Potential future trails)
