Hikes and Paddles
Hikes are scheduled for the second Sunday of September through June and the last Sunday of September through May (except for December); most are easy to moderate in difficulty. During warmer months we schedule paddles on local waters.
Stewardship Work Parties
Our Stewardship Work Parties generally occur on the third Saturday of the month to help with trail and preserve boundary maintenance. There is usually work for all ability levels. Help is greatly appreciated and always needed.
Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting occurs during the first half of June and reviews the activities of the land trust, elects new board members, conducts other official business, and features interesting speakers and programs.
Special Events
These events vary from year to year; most are open to the public, but some are for members only. We announce all events through email and some specific events, such as the annual meeting, by email and USPS mail.

Woods Walk
Join this hike for some exercise, fresh air, and to appreciate the meadows, wetlands, and woodlands at Golet Farm Preserve. The hike will be led by Rob Smith who will share his knowledge on the history of the preserve and its natural features. Meet at the parking area on Great Hillwood Road, in the Moodus section of East Haddam. Leashed dogs are welcome to bring their owners. Participants are invited to bring a light snack to share, along with EHLT's refreshment, for a post-hike tailgate.
Winter Photos
Long shadows, snow-covered branches, icy streams, and animal tracks are just a few of the nature scenes you could capture with your camera.
We would love to see your photos. Please submit them to the
2027 East Haddam Land Trust Photo Calendar.
Submissions are open now through August 15, 2026.
