ESSEX, CT β€” Name That Preserve Contest

The Essex Land Trust is excited to offer you a chance to know our preserves and town properties testing your knowledge by identifying the location of some of our favorite spots. So, it’s time to shake off those winter blues and explore some of Essex's OpenSpace areas. Prizes will be given to the top ten individuals who achieve the most accurate entries. We are calling this event the Name That Preserve contest, although it might also be described as a scavenger hunt.

Here’s the idea: we have created a photo album with pictures grouped into four categories.
