Over a hundred hikers joined officials from the Trustees of Reservations for a 5.5 mile walk on Super Bowl Sunday, 2012. The walk went through the Slocum's River Reserve, which include mature woodlands, agricultural fields, and pastures that slope down to the western bank of the Slocum's River. Two miles of trails cross the Reservation and connect to trail easements over an adjoining sixty acres of private land. The Reservation protects more than 3,000 feet of frontage along the Slocum's River (named for Joshua Slocum, the first person to sail single-handedly around the world) . Adjoining private farmland and pastures produce alfalfa and horticultural nursery stock and are used to graze livestock. The Trustees of Reservations and Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust (DNRT) jointly own and manage the property. Click here for the video of the walk. For more more information about the farm, contact Trustees  Community Conservation Specialist Chris Detwiller at 508-636-7501 or Education Director Linton Harrington at 508-679-2115, X12.
