How Do Your People Call The Earth?

July 20, 2023

Photograph depicts JuPong Lin, holding a piece of paper, standing in the woods next to the pond and speaking.

Led by Writing the Land poet JuPong Lin, this workshop integrates origami, walking meditation, community poetry and installation art. It opens with a mandala ceremony to honor the Earth in as many languages as the community brings. JuPong will teach the origami canoe fold, offer a guided meditation to attune to other-than-human beings and send […]

CANCELED – July Hike at Big View

July 18, 2023

Framed by fall-colored trees, the blueish hills of the Holyoke Range are seen in the middle distance from the top of a hill.

This event has been canceled due to poor air quality. Find sweeping valley vistas on a 1.5-mile hike at Big View in Williamsburg. This hidden Hilltown gem features views of Mount Tom, the Connecticut River, and even Mount Monadnock when conditions are right! We’ll climb to the viewpoint and enjoy refreshments, the scenery, and each […]

Backpack Explorer Family Nature Wander

July 15, 2023

A copy of the book “Backpack Explorer: On the Nature Trail” sits on a mossy rock in a dark, leafy forest. The cover of the book is an illustration of a teal back filled with items from nature, including a blue jay feather, leaves, flowers, acorns, a caterpillar, and a magnifying glass.

Join HLT and the Belding Memorial Library for a morning of nature exploration inspired by Backpack Explorer: On the Nature Trail, a take-along field guide for children ages 5 to 10. We’ll practice nature observation skills and discover ways to connect with the natural world through fun hands-on activities.  At the end of the wander, […]

Grassland Birds Talk

July 8, 2023

A bobolink, a black, yellow, and white bird, perches atop a weathered fence post against a blurry green background. The Hilltown Land Trust and Trustees logos are overlaid on the right.

Here in New England, our hayfields, pastures, and meadows serve as vibrant breeding grounds for threatened grassland bird species such as the beautiful bobolink. Learn about these sensitive species and how to manage habitat for them with a talk by Pete Westover. We’ll follow his talk with a birding session in the hayfield at The […]
