From across the room it's a meadow at the foot of an old oak. Up close, the blades spell a word. Redding has been reading its land that way for a very long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is for giving. Hang one, and send the rest to the friends and neighbors who keep the woods the woods - the trail tender, the easement donor, the neighbor who mows the meadow late for the bobolinks, the couple who walk Saugatuck Falls every Sunday. Send one down the hill, too, to friends in the shore towns, where open space was discovered about the time the last of it sold. Spread the word. It's right there in the grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was farm country first - pastured hillsides, stone walls, a limekiln at the north end that shipped plaster powder to New York, charcoal burners at the south. When the Erie Canal opened the West, the farmers followed it, and the forest crept back over the walls they left behind. By the 1930s Redding was woods again, with fewer than two thousand people living in them and no particular plan to keep it that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plan came from the town itself. In 1887 Redding residents talked the state into creating its first state park, at General Putnam's winter camp. In 1965 they founded a Land Trust. When the Great Ledge above Devil's Den went on the market in 1988, the whole town chipped in to buy it. The trails - sixty miles of them - are cleared every year by volunteers. Today nearly forty percent of Redding is protected land, among the highest shares of any town in Connecticut, and the regional vision for keeping New England forested is run from a foundation on Lonetown Road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oak on this ornament is nobody's tree in particular. It's the one that got to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the deep spruce engraving holds against a lit tree. Drawn in the manner of an 1880s wood engraving, with a single red ribbon tied around the trunk and CONSERVATION worked into the grass. The faceted edge catches light from every angle.

Two little log blockhouses, a pair of old cannons, a plain wooden gate - and beyond them, on its rocky rise, the granite obelisk the whole view was built to frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the winter of 1778-79, Major General Israel Putnam's division of the Continental Army went into winter quarters here in Redding - New Hampshire troops under Enoch Poor, Moses Hazen's Canadian regiment, and two Connecticut brigades - placed to guard the Danbury supply depot and back up West Point. The main camp filled this valley: 116 log huts in a double row nearly a quarter mile long, twelve men to a hut, each crew building its own of timber and fieldstone while they shivered in tents until late December. Short of bread, blankets and shoes, one private who was there summed up the season as starving and freezing. Connecticut still calls it its Valley Forge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimneys fell, the woods came back, and for a century the camp was nearly forgotten. In 1887 the state made the ground its first state park, raised the monument the next summer, and in the years that followed built this entrance - blockhouses to recall the frontier forts where young Putnam learned to soldier, surplus Civil War guns at the posts. The historian who planned it insisted it was to be not a pleasure park, but a memorial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who has walked the loop at Putnam Park, or who calls Redding home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe art is original and hand-drawn in the manner of an 1880s wood engraving - spruce-green ink, one cranberry bow on the gatepost - printed on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the lines read crisply against a lit tree.

Redding knew the man before the legend did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat winter of 1778-79 Israel Putnam commanded from Redding. Three camps, the Danbury stores behind him, the Sound below, and a division unpaid and close to walking home - he talked the Connecticut brigades back to their huts on the morning of December 30 with a speech and one confined ringleader. From these camps he pushed patrols down to the coast, to Norwalk, Stamford and Horseneck, and it was on that line, in late February, that a British column caught him at Greenwich with a handful of men.

On the morning of December 30 he talked the Connecticut brigades back to their huts with a speech and one confined ringleader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom these camps he pushed patrols down to the coast, and in late February 1779 a British column caught him at Greenwich with a handful of men. The ride that followed is the one everyone tells; what people forget is that he rode home to Redding. The park at his winter camp keeps a bronze of that moment by Anna Hyatt Huntington.

The main camp filled the valley with 116 log huts in a double row nearly a quarter mile long, twelve men to a hut. Short of bread, blankets and shoes, one private summed up the season as starving and freezing. Connecticut still calls it its Valley Forge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimneys fell, the woods came back, and for a century the camp was nearly forgotten. In 1887 the state made the ground its first state park and raised the granite monument the next summer. In the years that followed it built this entrance: two log blockhouses, a pair of surplus Civil War cannons and a plain wooden gate, arranged so that you look up the lane to the obelisk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoy candle, 11 oz, 100 percent soybean wax, with double cotton-cored wicks and roughly 65 hours of burn, in White Tea and Fig or Ocean Mist and Moss.
