Who doesn't have spring fever? The perfect antidote is to get outside on the trail. Westchester Land Trust has seven preserves with well-maintained trails, and we invite you to visit them all.
For a long, vigorous hike, try Westchester Wilderness Walk in Pound Ridge, or the Frederick P. Rose Preserve in Lewisboro. In Yorktown, you can walk along the Hunter Brook, swollen with spring runoff. The Old Church Lane Preserve in Lewisboro features a couple of terrific wetlands, where you can hear peepers and wood frogs. The trail at the Guard Hill Preserve in Bedford Village opens up to provide expansive views of horse pastures. And the short trails at the Pine Croft Preserve in Waccabuc and the Tom Burke Preserve in Bedford Hills are ideal for nature study.
We've put together a slideshow to give you a glimpse of these preserves (click here). And see our "Visit a Preserve" page for more details.
Join us at our annual Gala, Saturday,

Our hot-off-the-presses 2007 annual report features an overview of 20
years of land preservation success and a stunning display of aerial
photos of our projects.
There’s a certain breed of conservation biologist who can’t
wait for spring because it’s ideal for mucking around in vernal pools. Our Damon
Oscarson is one of them. But Damon has also put his expertise to use in
protecting vernal pools.
