Conservation Land & Trails

Welcome to Bolton Conservation Land and Trails!
Our conservation lands and trails wind through open fields and meadows, natural quarries, canopied forests that pass by streams, ponds and even quaking bogs providing natural habitat for a wide variety of wildlife including fox, coyote, turtles, salamanders, butterflies, dragonflies and birds as well as rare plant species. We welcome you to enjoy the rich, natural landscape that gives Bolton its rural charm and character.  

Bolton is privileged to have over 2,000 acres of protected land in over 15 Core Conservation Areas. Bolton’s trail systems provide quality passive recreational opportunities in the form of walking, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. Our Conservation Lands also provide access to several historical points of interest from old munition stations to buttonhole factories and hideouts that capture one’s imagination. 

The Bolton Conservation Commission, the Bolton Conservation Trust, and the Bolton Trails Committee all work in unison toward responsible land stewardship. These local conservation groups rely on the assistance of volunteers and generous donations from our community. If you would like more information or would like to participate in their effort, please contact the Bolton Conservation office.
