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.

An oldie but a goodie! ➡️Check out this June 2023 shot of Baltimore Oriole mates and their nest near the South Marsh at the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve. If you look closely, you’ll see that the female has breakfast ready for her nestlings. We once again thank GLT Member Don Shaw, Jr. for sharing this incredible photo. We saw a number of Orioles on this year’s GLT Bird Walks, so be on the lookout when you visit the Dismal Brook Wildilife Preserve!

Today, we remember and honor those who served and died in service to our nation 🇺🇸. They sacrificed their lives for us to protect our country and preserve our democratic ideals. One way to honor our fallen heroes is by attending today’s Memorial Day Parade in Granby which commences at 10AM. Photo courtesy of Peter Dinella. Have a meaningful Memorial Day.
