{"product_id":"slt-james-property-simsbury-land-trust-map","title":"SLT James Property","description":"The trail entrance and kiosk can be found on the right side of Metacom Drive just before mailbox # 30.\r\n\r\nThe trails through this property are short (0.5 miles) but lead to longer trails along the transmission line corridor and the New England Metacomet Trail. \r\n\r\nThe terrain is short moderate climbs leading to level and undulating trails. In portions, the trail has rocky and uneven footing. A short steep climb on the un-blazed trail leads to the Metacomet Trail.\r\n\r\nThe 9-acre James property provides access via a short un-blazed trail to the Metacomet Trail section of the New England Trail, the blue-blazed national scenic trail along the eastern traprock ridge line. Trails along the old dirt roads on the James property also connect to off- property trails in the transmission line corridor that runs parallel to the ridge line at a lower elevation.\r\n\r\nThe eastern traprock ridge creates an unusual variety of distinct habitats which support a number of state-listed uncommon, rare, or endangered plants and animals. They also provide exceptional hiking opportunities and spectacular views of the Farmington Valley. The trails through the transmission line corridor offer a more open hiking experience. Vegetation management in this corridor has created valuable thicket habitat used by many species of wildlife.\r\n\r\nFor further information on the James Property or the Simsbury Land Trust can be found here - \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/simsburylandtrust.org\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esimsburylandtrust.org\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Simsbury Land Trust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46213460361372,"sku":"1760086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7850\/5884\/files\/simsbury-land-trust-james-property-portrait-map-1760086-preview-0.jpg?v=1771357119","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/slt-james-property-simsbury-land-trust-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
