Property Stewards
We are so grateful to our amazing team of property stewards, who look after the properties we own and the properties upon which we hold conservation easements. Collectively, these dedicated volunteers monitor more than 3,000 acres of land.
Property Stewards, please log in here to provide your annual monitoring reports! If you steward a property upon which we have a trail, please complete a Trail Steward report as well. Thank you!
Earlier this spring, we set up this trail cam on a log crossing over the roaring Mountain Brook on the GLT’s Garmany Preserve in West Granby. We hoped to capture some video of animals making their way from one side of the brook to the other. After watching hundreds of squirrel videos (truly, hundreds), we were thrilled to see this beautiful bobcat! Watch how he disappears into the woods 👀.

Two Virginia Rails photographed earlier this week near the South Marsh at the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve. Wary of being in the open, these chickenlike long-billed birds like freshwater and brackish wetlands (like the South Marsh) that have cover and they feed primarily on insects. You are more likely to hear their distinctive call in the hours surrounding dawn and dusk (“tick-it, tick-it, tick-it…) than see them so this was a terrific photo 📸 capture by GLT Member Don Shaw, Jr.

Once again, the Granby Land Trust’s “Trust the Bees” Gran-Bee Trivia Contest team stirred up a beehive of activity at last Friday’s Granby Education Foundation event. We thank our Gran-Bee Team members – GLT Board Members Karen Dowd, Stacey Bahn Kroninger, and former GMHS student and current educator Kenzie Dowd – for their great work, which included distributing many Karen Dowd-crocheted bees 🐝 to a swarming crowd of youngsters. Congratulations 👏 to the Granby Education Foundation on running yet another successful Gran-Bee!
