Geocache Description:

This cache is on pubic property, adjacent to the Herb Hadfield Conservation Area.  You can park at either end of the Conservation Area.

The trail is not marked, but there is one.  If you don't find it on the way to GZ, be happy that you will have an easier walk out.

The link is for the Westport Land Conservation Trust web page. They describe the Conservation Area and its history.

"The conservation area is named after Herb Hadfield, a respected Westport artist renowned for his love of nature. The artist lived for many years in a cabin he built along Angeline Brook where he offered refuge to an assortment of wild, often wounded animals. Over the years, he built a series of trails throughout the property, which have been reopened for public use. Angeline Brook runs through the property and is crossed in several places by the newly cleared trails. The brook has been recognized as the least degraded of the few remaining cold water streams in Westport that support a native anadromous brook trout population. The presence of the sea-run trout species is an indicator that the Angeline Brook watershed is relatively healthy and undisturbed."
