Redding, a community that takes pride in its rural character, was first settled in 1714. This wooded countryside community is deeply committed to retaining the integrity of its land, water and wildlife resources. Samuel Clemens, known as "Mark Twain" to his readers, moved here when he was 73 and encouraged the founding of the town's library which today bears his pen name. Other writers, artists, and theater people have followed him here, setting the tone for a creative atmosphere. The Redding Land Trust preserves over 400 acres of land dedicated to open space, which features over 55 miles of hiking and riding trails. Parks take advantage of the beautiful natural surroundings, providing a variety of recreational opportunities including swimming, hiking, camping and boating. Lonetown Mars, one of Redding's many wetlands, attracts a variety of birds from American Egrets, to Blue Herons and Mallards. Redding, with approximately 1000 children in the public school system, has two lower schools and shares a regional high school with Easton, a neighboring town.
