Free walk at Bush Hill Farm
On Saturday, February 4, at 1:00 p.m., come out for a walk at an old orchard and farm at 330 Bush Hill Road, Manchester. Our one-and-a-half-mile walk at the former Botti farm will feature winter scenery and the opportunity to learn about the Botti family's immigration to the United States from Italy, as well as about patterns of immigration in Manchester and New England. The 177.5-acre preserve, now owned by the Manchester Land Conservation Trust, at one time included orchards, a gravel-pit operation, and a pig farm. We’ll talk about farming in Manchester, and how Land Trusts have historically preserved open space lands. Botti family members and a Unico representative will join us. Hikers will have a somewhat hilly walk over farm roads and meadow. The walk will take about 65 minutes, but all are welcome to stay longer to explore four additional miles of trails at the property. The walk will be held if light rain or snow, but extreme weather cancels. Questions may be directed to 860-643-1823.
