Description
Since being formally opened to the public in 2015, the Hinchcliff Family Preserve has been one of the Land Trust’s most popular preserves! Your help is needed is to create a hiking trail from Covey Road to the Central New York Land Trust’s Ripley Hill Preserve via a narrow strip of land owned by FLLT. We will meet in the Hinchcliff Preserve main parking area at the end of Covey Road and carpool to the Ripley Hill Preserve.
All tools and work gloves will be provided. Please wear sturdy shoes or hiking boots and bring your own lunch or a snack. Drinking water will be provided.
