Join us on Black Friday for a refreshing outdoor experience at the historic Wilcox-Bushley Homestead, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore the West District Nature Preserve, typically closed to the public. Enjoy a leisurely one-mile hike through the preserve, taking in the peaceful sights and sounds of late fall in Connecticut.
For those looking for a more challenging adventure, we invite you to hike the Mountain Spring Nature Trail. This invigorating trail offers a more strenuous experience with rewarding views.
Both hikes will be hosted by Farmington Land Trust volunteers. Opt-outside with us!

Leave the leaves and save the bees!
Fallen leaves, decaying logs, and gone-by flowers are more than just "mess"— these leftovers nurture wildlife like birds, pollinators, fireflies and turtles. But how can we balance the ecological benefits with the practical and aesthetic concerns of maintaining our spaces?
Join Kathy Connolly, landscape designer and expert in earth-friendly design, for a workshop on creating sustainable, beautiful landscapes that support local wildlife.
What you'll learn:
● Why autumn “mess” is important for wildlife
● Simple, low-maintenance landscaping tips
● How to integrate beauty and nature-friendly design
Space is limited to the first 30 registered.
