Join us for a community event showcasing the new trails and plantings within this 2.75-acre urban micro-forest tucked into a West Hartford neighborhood. A short program, which begins at 1:30 pm, will acknowledge the volunteers who cleared debris, removed invasive plants, and planted 200 native plants as part of the restoration efforts. Light refreshments will be provided. Please park at Wolcott School and walk over to our property across from 134 Davenport Road.
We will be helping Environmental Science Professor Dr. Kirsten Martin by cutting (no painting) common buckthorn, Bradford pear, multiflora rose, and bittersweet on the grassland habitat at USJ. Dr. Martin is hoping to turn it into a habitat for pollinators after the invasives are removed.
Bring loppers, hand saws, and dress for poison ivy and ticks. Park in the lot near the Asylum Ave entrance gate at 1678 Asylum Ave. Professor Martin says she will make us lunch!
Please RSVP to our Conservation Chairs at conservation@trlandconservancy.org if you are interested in helping so that we can get a count for lunch and you can be contacted in case of changes or cancellations.
Join us for rose party. There are some huge roses that we need to get out of the way before we can mow at the end of October. Bring loppers, hand saws and LEATHER gloves; those roses are fierce! Wear long pants, long sleeves and muck boots, if you have them. Parking is across from 140 Kimberly Road. Please be careful to not block the driveway.

Join us for a weekday hike on September 8th with Dave Mogul at McLean Game Refuge in Granby.
We’ll be hiking a circular path around the eastern end of the property on some of the park’s roads and trails. This is relatively easy hike, although there are a few inclines and some areas with rocky footing. The planned route is about 3 miles, and it’s expected to take 2 -3 hours, depending on our group’s pace.
We’ll meet at 9:30 at the parking lot on 150 Barndoor Hills Road. Please dress appropriately for the weather, and bring water as well as bug spray, if you want to.
Check Facebook or the website for postings or cancellation.
This hike is co-sponsored by Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy and Simsbury Land Trust.
Please join us as we tackle the invasives growing up the trees along the road frontage and put up a couple boundary signs. Parking is across from Burnwood Road or on the apron on Maple Street.
Always dress for the woods – wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, socks, boots, leather work gloves, bug spray and sunscreen.
