Need a break? Come sit a spell on the Glazier Cabin porch and enjoy the peace and quiet of the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve. Listen to the birds, feel the warmth of the sun, enjoy the view of Creamer Pond, and feel your blood pressure drop.
The Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve is located on Loomis Street in North Granby and is open dawn to dusk daily. Help us protect beautiful places like this by becoming a GLT member. Go to GranbyLandTrust.org to learn more.
This bench, honoring GLT Co-Founder Dave Russell, is located on the GLT’s Katan-Ensor Preserve blue trail and provides a nice wintertime view. Dave has served as a volunteer on the Land Trust Board of Directors for a remarkable 50 years, providing incredibly wise counsel and responsibly overseeing the Land Trust’s finances for many, many years. He has served as the organization’s treasurer since 1998. He is, without a doubt, one of the Land Trust’s greatest assets. This bench is fittingly located on the Katan-Ensor Preserve, which was bequeathed to the Land Trust by another GLT co-founder, Charlie Katan, and his wife, Joan. Charlie, Dave, and Bill Stewart founded the Land Trust in 1972.
We’ve come a long way in 50 years: 3,225 acres preserved, Land Trust Alliance National Accreditation and the Land Trust now has more than 400 annual member families. We cannot thank Dave Russell enough for all he has done and all he continues to do daily for the Granby Land Trust. One way you can recognize Dave’s dedicated service is to support the Granby Land Trust. Go to GranbyLandTrust.org to learn more about GLT membership. And please, the next time you see Dave around town, thank him for his dedication to our town and to preserving its open spaces.
