Manchester Land Conservation Trust Story Walk
On Saturday, October 29 at 1:00 p.m., kids, families, and adults are invited to a free walk at the Land Trust’s story trail. Meet and park at the Trust’s cider barn, 330 Bush Hill Road, Manchester, and walk along the dirt road to the pavilion, where we’ll walk, read, and explore along the storybook trail and, in cooperation with the Manchester Public Library, we'll have a new book installed: “Seeds Move,” by Robin Page. We’ll walk along the half-mile trail, to read the picture book. The trail curls its way through a former apple orchard. The event will be held rain or shine, but extreme weather cancels. There are three additional miles of farm and forest trails to explore for those who have additional time after the story event.
