SUMMARY:Bush Hill walk
DESCRIPTION:Three-mile moderately paced walk at the former Botti farm\, farmed for most of the 20th century by immigrants from Italy. We’ll offer several options\, including a couple of shorter distances. Learn more about the Bush Hill area\, which included a Podunk Indian camp\, as we explore the Manchester Land Trust’s 177.5-acre property in southwestern Manchester. We’ll view the fall foliage\, and explore some of the 5+ miles of blazed trails. We’ll see forest\, meadow\, and ponds\, with woodsy paths and old farm roads. The terrain varies from hilly to wet to flat. Sturdy shoes recommended.
