Bull Hill Preserve runs 3 miles from north to south along the Woodstock and Thompson line. This preserve contains over 3,000 acres of undeveloped land with a wide variety of habitats. This land consists of many individual parcels as it was historically used for wood lots and hunting.
Currently, the Bull Hill Preserve is a work in progress. Although Wyndham Land Trust (WLT) owns almost 1,000 acres on Bull Hill, not all the properties contiguous; they are interspersed with property owned by others. In order to respect the other owners, park in the designated area and stay on the marked hiking trails.
In late 2016, the WLT became aware of 254 acres made up of 13 discreet parcels of land that were being sold for possible development on top of Bull Hill. These parcels included the forest’s high point, the overlook for Bull Hill known as the “Three Trees.”
After a review by WLT’s Board of Directors, the conservation potential for Bull Hill became obvious and a concerted effort to raise the funds to purchase this initial 254 acres began.
Since that time the WLT has continued to add acreage through a combination of purchases and donations. Funding for purchases has come from our membership, private donors, and private charitable foundations. WLT was awarded a DEEP open space grant from the State of Connecticut for this purpose.
The Wyndham Land Trust aims to conserve nature in Windham County.
