What’s your favorite FLLT activity and/or preserve, and why? 

I love that there are so many unique preserves to explore. And, I love thinking these spaces are just waiting to be explored. (Brian Lee)

I loved taking part in one of the free guided hikes the FLLT put on as part of their 30th anniversary. It introduced me to a preserve I hadn’t yet seen, the Thayer Preserve, and helped me better understand what the FLLT does. (Claire Agrawal)
