Redding Hikes on CT & National Trails Day, June 6th!

CT TRAIL DAY HIKE: THE BRINCKERHOFF & BEYOND

Saturday, June 6, 2015, 9:00 AM (rain date Sunday, June 7, 2015)

Celebrate the Redding Land Trust’s 50th Anniversary with an 8-9 mile hike connecting the Brinckerhoff Preserve with the Great Ledge (and back) through trails of the Nature Conservancy’s Devil’s Den. This hike highlights Ensor’s Trace, a lovely but less well known approach to Devil’s Den. Although the terrain is moderate, this is a longer hike for experienced hikers. Please bring water and a lunch or snack.  Pre-registration is required to receive special parking instructions nearby the Brinckerhoff Preserve trail head. To pre-register contact Stuart Green, (203) 216-9584, shgreen@optonline.net. Co-Leader: Jeff Morgan. Sponsored by the Redding Conservation Commission.

CT TRAIL DAY: 3 HIKES IN TOPSTONE PARK!

Saturday, June 6, 2015 beginning at 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM

Redding Park and Recreation in conjunction with New Pond Farm is hosting this outing in celebration of National Trails Day®. Join an enthusiastic educator from New Pond Farm for an eye-opening hike on our trails. Search for signs of our wild neighbors and see what they leave behind—perhaps you will find a squirrel's breakfast table, the scratching’s of a skunk, the nibbling’s of cottontail rabbits, and more! Bring your bright eyes and get ready for exciting discoveries on our trails. Space is limited, so pre-registration is required. Family oriented 1-2 mile hikes.
