KENT, Conn.—The Kent and Warren land trusts are embarking on a joint effort to create a connected trail network across three nature preserves.
The network with traverse three nature preserves spanning more than 1,000 acres of conserved land in the Lake Waramaug watershed.
These include the Kent Land Trust’s East Kent Hamlet Nature Preserve, Warren Land Trust’s Cunningham Nature Preserve, and Warren’s new Mountain Lake Preserve.
With support from the State of Connecticut, the work will include public input and communications to ensure it meet the needs of visitors.
The trail design will offer diverse opportunities from a scenic lakeside stroll to more rugged routes traversing striking rock formations, historic landmarks, peaceful woodlands and sweeping meadows.
The Kent Land Trust is joining its Warren counterpart in this week’s Give Local, a two-day, regional fundraising event hosted for the past 14 years by the Connecticut Community Foundation. Contributions made today and Tuesday, April 22, will go toward a challenge goal of $20,000 and are the key to unlock a four-time match.
Every dollar donated will return five to this initiative for the Kent and Warren communities.
