Trail Cams: A Window on Wildlife

October 10, 2024

If you’ve dropped by HLT’s social media pages, you’ve probably seen videos of all sorts of animals walking across your screen. For the last few years, we’ve been hiding wildlife cameras all over the Hilltown landscape, trying to catch glimpses of the critters that call these lands home.

We moved to conserved land – and now we give back, too.

October 10, 2024

Conan and Cynthia stand arm in arm, wearing hiking clothes and standing in front of a wild mountain landscape.

“An important goal for us is to maintain the land for the benefit of all of its non-human creatures, all of whom have a right to enjoy the land,” says CR landowner Conan Deady.

October 10, 2024

The six members of the HLT staff stand smiling shoulder to shoulder in front of a mossy rock cliff.

With Sara’s arrival, HLT has a full staff of five, plus our TerraCorps service member.
