Maintaining our beautiful open spaces is a big job—and the Granby Land Trust relies on dedicated volunteers to help make it happen.
It’s that time of year again. In what has become a Granby tradition, the Granby Land Trust will take part in the Great Global Cleanup® over Earth Day Weekend, April 23–26. This worldwide campaign removes billions of pieces of trash from neighborhoods, beaches, rivers, lakes, trails and parks—reducing waste and plastic pollution, improving habitats and preventing harm to wildlife and people.
On Wednesday, April 29, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., the Granby Land Trust will host a Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walk on the GLT’s Katan-Ensor Preserve. The forest floor awakens at this time of year with vibrant colors and delicate blooms.
The Animal Control Officer for the towns of Granby, Barkhamsted and Hartland, joined by Town of Granby staff, will host a Rabies Vaccination Clinic and Animal Shelter Open House on Saturday, May 9, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Animal Shelter, 166 Salmon Brook Street.
