**CANCELLED** Wednesday Walk at Utley Hill Preserve
September 13, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am
**Please be advised that this walk has been CANCELLED due to a high chance of thunderstorms.**
________________________________________________________________
Join us at Utley Hill Preserve in Columbia, CT for a multi-habitat adventure and a little history, too.
The loop in Utley Hill Preserve is approximately 2.50 miles long and will take us roughly 1 and 1/2 hours to complete.
We will meet at the Columbia Recreation Park at 60 Hennequin Rd. After you pull into the Park, take the first right just before the tennis courts and follow the road until you see the Joshua’s Trust trail kiosk.
The trails through Utley Hill preserve are very well maintained. There is the possibility of a few challenging spots through mud and possibly water depending on weather conditions. There are some minor rocks and roots to navigate and a few spots with large ferns to walk through but the trails are mostly flat and easy to traverse.

There’s plenty of parking. All are welcome to attend.
The walk begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. and will be cancelled in the event of rain. Bring water, bug spray or net, and appropriate hiking gear as needed.
I will post on Instagram and Facebook as well as this page if we decide to cancel the walk due to weather or other, unforeseeable circumstances.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me, Michelle Poudrette, the Development and Communications Manager, at (860) 429-9023, or email me at michelle.poudrette@joshuastrust.org. Registration is not required.
We look forward to seeing you in Columbia.
