The Wallace Barnes Nature Trail
One of a kind in the state of Connecticut! The Wallace Barnes Nature Trail begins construction soon. This soon to be one mile-long nature trail will be fully accessible to people using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers and other mobility devices.
Pigeon Hill
We’ve done it again! Thanks to over flowing support, ELCCT has successfully secured an additional 63.9 acres of land in Bristol and Burlington.
A new, public trail, bringing hikers along the esker of Pigeon Hill, will open on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22nd, 2023!
