Join Northeast Wilderness Trust and Wildlands Ecology Director Shelby Perry for a guided walk at College Hill Wilderness Sanctuary.
Northeast Wilderness Trust established College Hill Wilderness Sanctuary in 2025, securing a forever-wild future for these 587 acres. That number may soon grow with the Chickadee Addition, 170 acres to the Sanctuary’s north. Protecting the Chickadee Addition would increase College Hill’s acreage by nearly 30 percent.
Perry will lead attendees on a walk at College Hill, explaining why expanding wild cores like College Hill strengthens landscape connectivity and resilience in response to climate change. Attendees should bring multiple clothing layers, plenty of water, snacks, bug spray and/or a head net, and good hiking boots or shoes to experience this future old-growth forest in all its glory.
Shelby Perry is the Wildlands Ecology Director at Northeast Wilderness Trust. She oversees all aspects of the Wildlands Ecology program, which conducts, supports, and shares ecological research pertaining to wildlands and inventories ecological values on the Wilderness Trust’s protected lands.
