Twenty Years, Twenty Hikes
A guide to trails on protected land
Written by John Burke, Elizabeth Farnsworth, & Allen Young, edited by Nathan Rudolph, with an introduction by Leigh Youngblood and maps by Elizabeth Farnsworth
Twenty hikes (actually nineteen hikes and one canoe trip) highlight some of the projects we have worked on which are best suited to hiking or visiting. Selected from more than 200 land protection projects Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust has assisted with over the years, each of the trails crosses a portion of the extensive mosaic of protected land that characterizes the local landscape of the greater North Quabbin region. This 48-pp. spiral bound book is a handy field reference that will fit easily into a backpack.
The guide is now being revised. You may download a free pdf copy of the current edition below.
