The Land Trust accomplishes this by acquiring properties and maintaining them as open space for passive recreational use by the public. Today the WLT manages fourteen properties, covering more than 200 acres. One of our gem properties is the Orchard Glen/Spruce Glen property, off of Barnes Park Rd. North. This scenic property offers a trail for you to enjoy that leads to a waterfall. You can download and print maps to all WLT properties at their website at: www.wallingfordlandtrust. org. The WLT is always seeking people to serve on the board of directors to help manage these properties and the WLT activities. We welcome you to join us at monthly meetings, which are always informal.
