One thing to be grateful for in the past few weeks is the mild spring weather and our ability to get outside and enjoy the amazing landscapes around us! It is wonderful to see our open spaces providing a place for people to exercise, find peace, spend time with family, and connect with nature. We hope that people continue to take advantage of our wonderful resources, but please be sure to stay safe and practice social distancing, even in nature.🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳

Unfortunately, due to the Halloween night winds, we need your help again in checking the trails for fallen trees, branches and limbs. You can report anything that needs attention to the email address on this webpage ([email protected]). Any help that you can provide would be appreciated.

Thank you to our runners, sponsors, supporters, and volunteers! The 9th Annual Run for Rice's was another great event with over 200 registered runners and over $5000 raised for the Rice Nature Preserve and Minnechaug Land Trust. Every year, the community's generous support for this race is a wonderful thing to experience and we look forward to seeing everyone at our 10th annual Run for Rice's next year!
