Earth Day Hike @ The Roy Preserve

Led by CVRLT Board Member, Cheryl Rykowski, come join Candlewood Valley Regional Land Trust on Saturday, April 20th at 10AM for an Earth Day hike and come see our new property, the Roy Preserve!

We will meet at 1 Deal Drive in Danbury – make sure to park along the street. We’ll hike approximately two miles on the Ives Trail via the Old Post Road, to CVRLT’s newest acquisition, the Roy Preserve. We’ll loop the property (about a mile) and then hike back. The entire hike should take about 3 hrs. +/-, depending on weather and stops to bird watch and have snacks.

This is an easy to moderate hike over mostly flat, but rocky and possibly wet ground. Please wear appropriate hiking shoes and bring water and snacks or lunch. We will hike in a light mist but if weather is truly bad, we will cancel and alert all who have signed up via email. Please check your email the night before and the morning of the hike. We hope you’ll join us!

Registration is required. Sign up here.

In December 2023, we gratefully received a pristine 4.93 parcel donation at 149 Long Ridge Road in Danbury from Mr. Noel Roy of Ridgefield, CT.  The parcel is nearby three other CVRLT properties along Long Ridge Road, the Schwab, Barnard, and Wiedel Preserves. The new parcel is accessible from the Ives Trail via the Old Post Road. With thanks to Noel Roy for his generous donation and for helping CVRLT preserve natural areas for all to enjoy.
