HIKES AND EVENTS
Intro to Geocaching 101 - 2023
Discover the beauty of Colchester and its surroundings with the Colchester Land Trust! Join our vibrant community by attending our monthly (or more) hikes, outings, and engaging community events. Immerse yourself in nature while connecting with fellow residents.
Whether you're passionate about conservation, the environment, or simply having fun, our events cater to diverse interests and physical abilities.
As a CLT member, you can enjoy the majority of these experiences for free, while non-members only pay a nominal fee of $5 per adult. All children under 18 attend for free. (Event details and fees may vary, so be sure to check out the specifics for each occasion.)
Our events are not just limited to Colchester and our properties —they extend to other Colchester places and neighboring towns, often in collaboration with local organizations, other land trusts, and various groups.
Join us for memorable moments for individuals, families, and kids alike. Everyone is welcome to be part of the Colchester Land Trust community. Explore, connect, and have a great time at our upcoming events!
