Overview
The Nature Conservancy is recruiting volunteers to help care for the 20‑mile trail system at Devil’s Den Preserve in Weston and Redding. “Trail Adopters” walk the trails to monitor and report on conditions, remove fallen branches, trim overgrown vegetation and assist with other projects as needed, such as addressing erosion issues and removing invasive plants.
Two required trainings will be offered:
- Virtual Session: June 3 from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
- In-Person Training: June 13 from 9:00 a.m. - noon
Registration is required. Sign up to register by June 1. For more information, contact Martha Rice at mrice@tnc.org.
At 1,800 acres, Devil’s Den is TNC’s largest preserve in Connecticut. It protects a significant portion of the watershed of the west branch of the Saugatuck River, habitat for many of aquatic species including uncommon mussel species.
