Leash your dog on GLT properties

Ever since it opened to the public in October 2020, the Granby Land Trust’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve has been, well, wildly popular with Granby residents, as well as with visitors from out of town, and even from out of state.

The night sky as a wild place

I don’t know about you, but when I step out of my house or car at night, the first thing I do is look up. It is almost instinctual to gaze skyward and take notice of what is happening in the atmosphere. But even more importantly, I want to see the stars—to witness the bright pinpricks of light against the dark sky, taking note of constellations, looking for planets and hoping for a shooting star.

Please learn CPR

Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the world. Each year, more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. Almost three out of four of those happen at home.

Appreciation for Fresh Access

I would like to say a few words in support of and in appreciation for the non-profit farming programs, and specifically for the Fresh Access Program offered to seniors in the community through the Granby Senior Center.

Respect our homes

With all the construction going on at the Routes 10 and 189 junction, we oldsters at Granby Homes for Seniors, AKA Stony Hill Village, see a lot more people walking through the compound—not wearing masks, letting their dogs pee on our things, dumping your dog poop in our trash, taking pictures of our apartments…. really now.

Support for Local Charities

The Granby Living Facebook group is 10 years old this December. It was started with the goal of providing information to help and support our community. In recent years we have held an annual fundraiser to support two very worthwhile local charities, Waste Not Want Not Community Kitchen and the Granby Food Bank.

A Community for the Thinkers

When did we start believing that the two major political parties—vehicles designed to hoard power—get to dictate our values? Weren’t values supposed to be determined by our local communities, through culture, civics and spiritual life?
