A wintery view from the GLT’s Frances B. Petersen Preserve. Located on Broad Hill Road in West Granby, this 30-acre parcel features views to the west. The Petersen Preserve abuts the Blackington Family, Beman Family, and Beverly Goodwin Preserves, as well as the GLT’s Diamond Ledges Preserve, which was donated by Mary Edwards. When combined, these GLT properties make up almost 90 acres of protected land abutting the McLean Game Refuge and the Town of Granby/Friends of Holcomb Farm.
