This year in addition to Hartland Land Trust’s Mill District Nature Preserve, hikers will get a look at HLT’s Bassett-Kell Preserve via our new Red Trail. We’ll start on the Mill District’s Blue Trail, go check for waterfowl in the Beaver Pond, and then veer off onto the Red Trail through the eastern portion of the Bassett-Kell Preserve. We’ll see beautiful forestland and talk about some of the invasive pests that are affecting some of our hemlocks and what HLT is doing to protect them.  Terrain is uneven, steady uphill in spots and may be wet.  Wear sturdy footwear, bring water, take tick/bug precautions and consider bringing trekking poles.

Meeting Location Details

Park at the intersection of Routes 20 and 181 in West Hartland; we will have vehicles to shuttle you 1/2 mile to the Mill District Blue Trail trailhead. Parking at the trailhead is limited but if you need to park there (small children in car seats, for example) please contact Susan at (860)402-1892 for directions.
