Our Town
Perhaps we're biased, but we think Granby, Connecticut, is a pretty spectacular town. Our rolling hills, open meadows, working farms, scenic vistas, and clean waterways create a beautiful, rural landscape. A myriad of hiking trails give residents and visitors opportunities for outdoor recreation. And large tracts of open land offer refuge and protection for our wildlife.
Land conservation affects not only our landscape, but our quality of life. Clean air, water and soil -- and opportunities to connect with nature -- are critical to our physical and mental health.
Thanks to some forward-thinking and incredibly generous individuals and a town government that understands and prioritizes the value of open space, approximately 8,500 acres of property in town are permanently preserved.
Here is a list of organizations with whom the Granby Land Trust has partnered over the years, who are doing good work to make Granby a special place to live and visit.
❄️ 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.
