Join Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy, 4Five Farm, the Town of Bloomfield, the Connecticut Land Conservation Council and special guests for festivities and conversations about the remarkable trees the outstanding resources conserved at Hawk Hill Farm.

There will be a short Arbor Day ceremony, including a reading by poet Tom Nicotera. The ceremony will conclude with the ribbon cutting of Hawk Hill’s exciting new tree trail open to the public. The trail features nine trees; five are “Notable” trees, meaning they are among the largest of their species in CT.

Light refreshments will be served and guided walks of the tree trail will be available. Please RSVP if you plan to attend to help us with our planning.

Update:

Approximately 80 people attended the grand opening of the new Tree Trail. Bloomfield Mayor Danielle Wong and Windsor Mayor Nuchette Black-Burke were in attendance. Bloomfield Poet Tom Nicotera presented a new poem, “Ode to a White Oak,” inspired by the notable (and majestic) White Oak on the Trail. The ceremony concluded with Diana Hughes (whose generosity funded the Tree Trail) cutting the ribbon.

The Hawk Hill Farm Tree Trail (and trail system) is open to the public. When visiting, please park on the right-hand side of the small parking lot in front of the red barn at 20 Duncaster Road, Bloomfield. The trail begins at the kiosk. Hawk Hill Farm is a working farm, please stay on the designated public trail to not interfere with the farm operations.
