❄️ Snowy trail on the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve in North Granby. This beautiful place was preserved forever by longtime GLT Board Member Jamie Gamble who donated this 210-acre property to the Land Trust in 2020. We are so grateful 🙏 for Jamie’s vision and generosity.

Calm before the storm. A quiet morning view of Salmon Brook next to the GLT’s Holcomb Hill Preserve in West Granby.

You guys are great. Love all the properties!
💥 FLASH HIKE 🥾! Join us THIS Monday – MLK Day – at 11AM for a winter ❄️ hike led by Property Steward Fran Armentano on the GLT’s Mary Edwards Mountain Property in North Granby. With snow in the forecast for Sunday, it should be a beautiful and peaceful walk in the woods. No need to RSVP, just come prepared for a 2-3 mile hike and feel free to bring snowshoes if we have significant snow.
