Simsbury Land Trust to Host Saturday Wagner Woods Hike

Simsbury residents are invited to join a “Wagner Woods Hike” on Saturday, April 5 at 9 a.m. The hike will begin at the Simsbury Land Trust’s Wagner Woods trailhead on Great Pond Road, and will take about 90 minutes. The hike is fairly easy with several up-slopes, but no difficult sections.

 

Learn a little about the trees, plants (including invasive varieties) as well as some of the history of the property’s past including its access for water from Hop Brook creek, harvesting of ice from an adjacent pond, use of the field as an airstrip for a personal plane, and the operation of a commercial laundry along a local creek.
