The Redding Land Trust protects Redding’s woods, meadows, wetlands, and vistas for the benefit of our town’s residents and visitors.

A rainy afternoon, but we remain optimistic about Saturday's forecast! Our Summer Celebration returns to Do Ngak Kunphen Ling, where we gathered in 2022. Surrounding the Tibetan Buddhist Center are fields and woodlands which we protect via conservation easement.

We can’t wait to show you the beautiful Eastern Junipers, Flowering Dogwoods, Red and Sugar Maples, and old Black Cherries.

Prep for these events depends on volunteers, ticket buyers, community partners, and sponsors—including first-time sponsor, Meadow Ridge. Did you know that much of Meadow Ridge’s land is protected by the Town, with a couple short, easy trails open to all Redding residents? The pond and screened gazebo are particularly nice, no matter the season or weather!
