Woodlands, streams, meadows and rocky scarps are Redding’s precious natural heritage shared by us all. At the Land Trust’s Annual Meeting on Sunday, April 2, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Redding Community Center, we will celebrate the Town’s 250th anniversary of its founding by exploring some of the special spaces that have marked our history through the years.
As speakers explain the historical significance of each property, old maps and revealing photos will be projected on a screen, providing an understanding of how land from pre-colonial days through the revolutionary years to the time when waterways were used for mills have shaped our past. Redding historians Dan Cruson, Charlie Couch and Brent Colley will be among the presenters.
You are invited to join friends and neighbors to hear from Land Trust Co-Presidents Silvia Erskine and Gordon Loery about the Trust’s achievements in the last year, to learn its role in preserving Redding’s historic spaces, and to mingle and socialize over wine and hors d’oeuvres.
