National Trails Day Hike
Explore the trails at YMCA Camp Sloper! Learn about local flowers, trees, and wildlife, as well as the history and geology of this part of Southington. Most of the hike will be on flat and easy trails. At the end participants will have the option of climbing up a boulder field to the top of the cliff, which has a fine view of the Quinnipiac valley. Led my SLCT Member Philip Thibodeau.
We’re excited to introduce Saige, our newest teen volunteer at the Southington Land Trust! As part of a school project, Saige is dedicating her time and energy to making a difference with us. Her passion for the environment, helping others, and eagerness to learn make Saige a great addition to our team.
Please join us in welcoming Saige on her journey! And be sure to check out her adventures: Growing Green: Saige’s Volunteer Adventures with the Southington Land Trust
