Mission Statement
Founded in 1972, the Granby Land Trust preserves Granby's natural heritage through the conservation of its scenic and historic vistas, open space corridors, wildlife habitat, ecologically sensitive areas, and agricultural land.
We seek to achieve this mission through strategic land acquisition, responsible land stewardship, effective partnerships with other land conservation organizations, public education, and advocacy for environmentalism and conservation.
The GLT maintains public trails on a number of its properties. Providing our community with opportunities to get outside, exercise and reconnect with nature is important to us.
The Granby Land Trust is nationally accredited.
❄️ 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. If you have any questions about this hike or trail conditions, please contact Fran Armentano at farmano200@gmail.com. Hope to see you on Monday!
