Show your love 💚 for nature by joining the Granby Land Trust in our Third Annual 🌎 Earth Day Roadside Cleanup, April 18 - 22! Last year, you helped us pick up more than 1,500 pounds of trash along Granby's roadsides. Let’s do even more ⬆️ this year! This is a DIY event. You simply choose the street or neighborhood you'd like to tidy, then shoot us an email at info@granbylandtrust.org to let us know where you plan to work so we can track our reach. You provide the manpower; we’ll provide the dumpster. Spend however much time you like. And remember: many hands make light work. Invite your family, neighborhood friends, book club, nonprofit organization, youth group, sports team, church group, or any other group to get involved and make a positive impact on our town! Send us a photo (at info@granbylandtrust.org) so we can use it to inspire others. Post a pic on your own social media to inspire your friends. And once you’re done, if you’re over 21, you’re invited to Lost Acres Vineyard for a free glass of wine (go to granbylandtrust.org to learn more). Let’s make a difference on Earth Day 2024! 🙏

View of the GLT’s Mary Edwards Mountain Property from last Saturday. The property’s elevation produced an icy but very beautiful scene. Photo submitted by GLT Member Austin White.

These kids rock! Members of the Granby Land Trust Youth Conservation Corps, along with a good showing of GLT members, came out in force on Sunday afternoon to help maintain the trails 🥾⛏️ at the Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve in North Granby. The day was cold and the work was dirty, but that didn't slow this crew down 🔥! They worked on improving the trails, building stone walkways over wet areas, installing and cleaning out water gutters to redirect seasonal waterflow, and did general maintenance to improve the trail experience. We are so grateful 🙏 for our volunteers -- especially these kids -- for their willingness to spend 2+ hours of their weekend giving back to the community. Come check out all they accomplished, and if you see them around town, thank them for their efforts 👏! To learn more about the Youth Conservation Corps, go to granbylandtrust.org.
