The Wallingford Land Trust

The Wallingford Land Trust, Inc. is a non profit organization dedicated to the preservation of nature Life has changed so rapidly over the past thirty years.

is a non profit organization dedicated to the preservation of natural habitats and areas of scenic beauty in Wallingford, Connecticut. The Land Trust accomplishes this by acquiring properties and maintaining them as open space for passive recreational use by the public. Today, the WLT manages fourteen properties, covering more than 200 acres. What hasn't changed is our need for places where we can still connect with nature. We will not have those places unless we preserve areas where wildlife can thrive in its natural habitat. That takes the personal involvement of those who want to retain a high quality of life in our community.

We've mowed the trails at our Three Meadows property on Bridle Lane! Now you can 1) gather cotton from the cottonwood tree; 2) watch the Allegheny mound ants hard at work; 3) see milkweed in bloom and look for monarch eggs; 4) see common mullein stalks with yellow flowers; 5) watch bees on the silky dogwood flowers.

Three dogs joined our Tree ID Walk today at West Dayton Hill. Question: When marking territory, do dogs and wild animals prefer some tree species to others? And then there's the old riddle: How do you recognize a dogwood tree?

These multi-legged creatures are back! Cedar-apple rust is a fungus that forms on eastern red cedar trees, transfers to apple trees, then back to cedars. As a former apple orchard, our Three Meadows property is a perfect host.

Our Three Meadows property on Bridle Lane used to be an apple orchard. Some of the old trees are now in bloom. And in fall, they still produce edible apples!
