Because she believed in our ability to preserve and protect open space, Irene Stahl of Bethany donated Whispering Pines, 49 acres of heaven in Bethany that she and her late husband, Carl, lovingly managed. She has entrusted the Bethany Land Trust to preserve the home of the wild things that live there and to invite all of us to enjoy a walk in the woods.
Our trail crew has been very busy blazing trails, marking boundaries and building a bridge over Bladen’s Brook. Trails now connect Whispering Pines with the town’s Carrington Preserve and the Land Trust’s Bethany Farms trail system. The Whispering Pines trailhead is at 30 Briar Road. We invite you to take a walk in the woods of Whispering Pines whenever you like. A trails map has been posted to the Land Trust website.
