Happy New Year!

With the New Year comes New Year Resolutions. Why not make a resolution to reconnect with what’s most important in your life. Family and Friends! What better way to do this than to put down and move away from all the electrical devices that have become part of our daily lives and instead get out of the house and enjoy the Great Outdoors. Study upon study have shown the importance of being outside, exploring our natural environment, and participating in unstructured play as one of the most important benefits we can give ourselves as well as our family. Prospect Land Trust is continuing with its mission of community involvement by providing many opportunities to do just that in the upcoming year. So, just because its cold outside does not mean we have to hibernate. Bundle up and join us for our upcoming events.
