Youth Conservation Corps
The primary mission of the Granby Land Trust Youth Conservation Corps (GLTYCC) is to help the Granby Land Trust complete high priority land management projects. Working outside, with peers, toward a common goal, can be physically and mentally rewarding; and many hands certainly make light work. The amount of work a group of eager teenagers can accomplish in a morning is remarkable.
Under the leadership of a GLT board member, volunteers help build and maintain trails and improve wildlife habitat. Work parties are held on weekend mornings, typically last two hours, and sometimes involve donuts.
The Granby Land Trust so appreciates the work of these volunteers. If you would like to join the Granby Land Trust Youth Conservation Corps, please send an email to info@granbylandtrust.org or reach out to the YCC's 2022-23 Team Captain Chas Orluk to learn more. Candidates should be at least 14 years of age.

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.
