DLC has conserved and stewards many beautiful properties in our area to protect water quality, forests, and wildlife. The Chester Farm is one of DLC’s standout conservation projects because of its large size, stunning beauty, and ecological value, in addition to the story of the unique and profoundly generous donation by the late Frank Chester.

Our final Wilderness Calling event of 2024 will feature a hike and brief history of Chester Farm with Dave Cable and Janet Andersen, two people critical to the conservation of Chester Farm. Please join us for this special event on a very special preserve. You are encouraged to sign-up early.

We will be walking off-trail through the forest where there is a thick blanket of leaves and uneven, potentially slippery ground so please wear proper footwear and bring a walking stick if you need extra stability.  Participants must be 10 years old or older.

Registration is required. Sign-up HERE.  By signing up you are agreeing to our participant waiver.  To read our waiver please go to: WAIVER.
