Land trust
plans hikes
for Walktober
Wyndham Land Trust has enjoyed a long time partnership with The Last Green Valley. A big and enjoyable piece of this partnership has been participating in TLGV’s Walktober every fall.
Wyndham Land Trust, now with more than 4,000 acres preserved in northeastern Connecticut, is offering three guided hikes on a few of their premier preserves this Walktober.
At 1 p.m. Oct. 11 enjoy a hike with Wyndham Land Trust’s Andy Rzeznikiewicz on the Bull Hill Forest Project, with now over 1000 acres preserved by WLT. This parcel of land is diverse, historic, and offers some wonderful views. Bull Hill Road is located off Senexet Road in Woodstock. Drive respectfully to the end of Bull Hill Rd, and follow the sign, park at the gate. Walking is rather easy, about 2 mile total walk. Plan on an hour to an hour and a half.
From 9 to 10 a.m. Oct. 24 join Wyndham Land Trust’s Penny Foisey on the Townshend Preserve Educational Walk as you share the beauty and history of this special place. This will be a short 15 minute uphill walk to the home site with time to explore the area. No dogs on this walk. Meet at the Preserve’s gated entrance on Taft Pond Rd., Pomfret, just east of the 4-H Camp. Rain or shine. Pre-registration is APPRECIATED to This email address is being protected from spambots.

At 10 a.m. Oct. 24 WLT’s Jeff Stefanik offers a hike on the fields, woods, and wetlands of the scenic 154-acreRapoport/Spalding Preserve. Rain or shine, this is a relatively easy and scenic 2 mile walk. Please park respectfully at the end of Calkins Road (off Joy Road), by #129 Calkins Rd. Leashed dogs are welcome.
Since all of these walks are outside, social distancing will be easy to accomplish. Wear appropriate shoes, clothing, mask and bug spray for your comfort. www.wyndhamlandtrust.org
