Land Use History Walk on Sunday with New Canaan Land Trust

Land Use History Walks with New Canaan Land Trust on Sun., August 11 at 12:00 PM and Sun., August 11 at 1:30 PM
 
Prior to today’s suburbanization and extensive development, New Canaan’s landscape was covered with farms, pastures, and managed woodlots. Evidence of these various land uses are still visible today, and with a keen eye, one can deduce how a given piece of land might have been used over a century ago. Learn how to pick out these clues, and discuss the profound ways that New Canaan (and most of Connecticut) have been impacted by historic land use.

Please note, participants should wear sturdy shoes, and be prepared to walk on wooded, sometimes uneven, terrain.
