We Did It! Thank You for Investing in Granby’s Future
The Granby Land Trust gratefully recognizes all who supported the GLT’s Holcomb Farm Stewardship Fund Campaign (see list below), and the anonymous donor who offered up an amazing $100,000 challenge gift to get the campaign started. We are pleased to report that, working together, we rose to – and exceeded – that challenge, raising a remarkable $221,563 to-date (the campaign remains open and you can still make a gift!).
These funds are helping underwrite the GLT’s $500,000 investment, made this past fall, to acquire a conservation easement on 277 acres of the historic, scenic, and environmentally significant Holcomb Farm – a working farm that grows clean food for thousands of people, including people in need. The property includes the Holcomb Tree Trail as well as a network of woodland trails – all of which are maintained by the Friends of Holcomb Farm. The GLT will now ensure this land is protected from development – forever.
We thank each of you on this list for your generous, steadfast, and enthusiastic commitment to preserving Granby's natural heritage and investing in one of our town’s truly special places.
You Can Still Help – Make a Contribution Today and Add Your Name to Our List of Project Supporters!
If you prefer, you can mail a check made payable to "Granby Land Trust" to PO Box 23, Granby, CT 06035 (please indicate gift is for "Holcomb Farm Stewardship Fund" on check memo line). The GLT is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization and your gift is tax deductible.
