As part of Connecticut Trails Day 🥾, the Granby Land Trust hosted Michael Wojtech, the author of “Bark,” for a guided walk to learn more about the trees 🌳 on the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve in North Granby. We thank 🙏 Michael for joining us, all the positive and enthusiastic attendees, Jamie Gamble who donated this incredible property to the GLT, and a BIG shout-out to the Connecticut Forest & Parks Association for organizing Trails Day Weekend across our state.
