Join members of the Connolly family and Redding Land Trust as we dedicate the loop trail on Redding’s iconic Great Ledge in memory of Eugene Connolly (1931-2024). Gene was a longtime Redding Land Trust Trustee and, with Constance Pharr Brereton, led the campaign to purchase and protect these treasured 9 acres at the edge of Devil’s Den.

Please meet at 12:30pm for a 1:00 hike to the Great Ledge. There is a small gravel lot between 68 and 70 Dayton Road; more parking is available on the shoulder 500 feet down Dayton, by the intersection with Tudor Road.

NOTE: no dogs at this event, since the trails connect directly to The Nature Conservancy property. The hike will be roughly 1.3 miles round trip, and as always we recommend wearing shoes that can take some mud!
