On Connecticut Trails Day, Sunday, June 8, from 12 to 2 p.m., naturalist, writer, speaker, photographer and illustrator Michael Wojtech will help us see trees in ways we may not have noticed before. Wojtech, author of Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast, will explore how trees grow, reproduce and interact with their environment across days, weeks, seasons and years and over varying scales—from the intricate details of their bark, buds, flowers and leaves, essential for species identification, to the ecological adaptations that enable them to thrive. This event will take place at the GLT’s beautiful Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve in North Granby. Please register in advance for this event by emailing info@granbylandtrust.org
The Granby Land Trust has produced its seventh virtual trail tour—this one showcasing the Nuckols Family Preserve in West Granby as it transitions through the four seasons. Starting at the trailhead located off Simsbury Road, viewers will virtually explore this beautiful property, learn more about its history, better appreciate its environmental significance, and see some of the special wildlife that frequents the property. To see this and all the GLT’s virtual tours, visit the Granby Land Trust’s YouTube channel.
