Amidst the many other things that occupied us this year we also paused to take note that 2006 was the 30th anniversary of the Simsbury Land Trust. We have dedicated the primary part of Dick Davis this 2006 Annual Report to a brief overview of the land trust’s President efforts over the last 30 years. [1] Simsbury Open Space

is a good time to assemble the first chapter. And it is fun to see where we have been and how far we have come. [4] This history is not a complete story but a beginning chapter.

Those of us who have had the good fortune to be associated with the Simsbury Land Trust over the past

30 years have experienced one of those uncommon intersections where mission, hard work, and opportunity almost perfectly complement one another.

What the Simsbury community has achieved through the SLT to date has strengthened the organizational foundation and confirmed the effort, improving the chance for future success.

Protecting additional land, increasing the community’s awareness and understanding of the local environment, and managing these natural resources in a more knowledgeable and professional manner are remaining needs and continuing goals.

What we hope we are achieving is a townwide landscape with unique beauty and environmental health, emotionally satisfying and intellectually stimulating, that stands a better chance today of still being here for generations to come.

[5] Fields & Farms Simsbury’s fields and farms provide habitats for a whole range of birds, flowers, and other wildlife that depend on grass and brush environments, and they contribute disproportionately to the scenery in town. We enjoy looking at fields, and fields enable us to see beyond. Without periodic wildfire and uninterrupted beaver activity, fields are not a natural phenomenon and therefore need active management to continue to exist. An effective and efficient way to accomplish this is to see that the farms continue to exist.

1976

In 1975 a group of individuals led by Barbara Rust, Peggy Shanks and John Ellsworth saw the need Incorporation of the Simsbury Land Conservation Trust (SLCT). for a local land trust to complement growing efforts by the Town to protect its natural environment Peggy Shanks elected first president. 70 charter members for future generations. This group included Pat Wegner, Jackson Eno, Carol Stevens, John O’Neal,

Lina Wagner, Martha Austin, Waddy Fyler, Al Schuyler and a dozen others.

[6] Margaret C. (Peggy) Shanks Founding Member

Peggy Shanks chaired the Steering Committee that established the Simsbury Land Trust in 1974 and 1975, served as the new land trust’s first president from 1976 to 1979, and was a trustee from 1976 to 1979, and again from 1990 to 1996. Peggy describes the task of getting the Simsbury Land Trust up and running as “a gathering of like-minded people working to give Simsbury and its residents another tool for land preservation.” The early focus was on creating an organizational structure, building membership, acquiring the first properties and formulating plans for future acquisitions. She added, “I do not think of involvement as broken into parts or key issues. Those were the ‘whole enchilada’ years.”

1977 1979 1980 1981

Spent significant energy in exploring several issues John Cannon donates the first portion of 25 acres on including restoration of Folly Farm, its potential future the West Ridge. uses and permanent protection of its natural resources. SLCT acquires its first property, a 10 acre wetland donation from George Leaska.

[7] Ridges People often talk of a recognizable sense of place, a particular character, when they speak of Simsbury. Much of what they mean by this derives from a number of geological features highlighted by a grand river valley tucked between two dramatic ridges. Traprock ridges exist in New England in a very limited area, primarily along the southern Connecticut River Valley. Simsbury has more of these volcanic outcroppings within its boundaries than nearly any other town in Massachusetts or Connecticut. They create an unusual variety of distinct habitats and, as a result, support a disproportionate number of state-listed uncommon, rare, or endangered plants and animals. They also provide exceptional hiking opportunities, enhanced by several miles of trails the Simsbury Land Trust maintains. The magnificent West Mountain in the northwest corner of town represents the oldest exposed bedrock in Simsbury. This rock formation can be readily viewed in the road cuts along Route 309 leading to North Canton. Metacomet Ridge serves as Simsbury’s eastern border and is notable not only for its imposing presence but also for its unique geology and ecology. The extensive Metacomet Trail runs the length of the ridge; Penwood and Talcott Mountain state parks are situated there. The panoramic Tower Trail is doubtless the most heavily hiked trail in the valley. The western edge of the ridge is fractured and heavy with rock debris called tallus. Along with the effects of west-to-east weather patterns, this has created specialized microenvironments. The windswept and exposed summit is another environment not seen elsewhere in Simsbury. In the spring, depressions along the ridge fill with water, forming the numerous vernal pools that are vital for the survival of local toads, frogs, salamanders, and turtles. In the fall hawks and other birds of prey ride the thermals and follow the ridge during their migrations.

Mary Knapp donates the first portion of a 29 acre wetland at the south end of Saddle Ridge.

[8] Paul Knierim SLT Board of Trustees 1991–2005

As a trustee from 1991 to 2005, Paul served as a key player in increasing the organization’s capacity to undertake larger, more complex transactions and programs. “As time passes, the opportunities to protect Simsbury’s key remaining natural features as well as lesser parcels with aesthetic impact are fewer and fewer,” says Paul. “The Simsbury Land Trust needs to continue to be on the lookout for these opportunities, diligent in pursuing them and creative in making them happen.”

[9] Wetlands Wetlands are among our most important types of open space, providing the essential functions of water retention and purification. They also harbor the largest amount and variety of life of any habitat in Simsbury. As would be expected in a river valley bounded by ridges, wetlands can be found in every part of town, from the floodplain itself to vernal or seasonal pools and seasonal streams high in the hills. However, they have become partitioned over the years as residential development has spread into private nooks and crannies and into more marginally developable areas. As wetlands are divided into smaller and more isolated parcels, migration patterns are altered, wildlife with minimum range requirements disappear, and the life that remains lives under additional stress from nearby chemicals, family pets, and changes in water levels. Simsbury boasts several types of wetlands, defined primarily by the distinctive plants and animals each supports. Among these are the river and its tributary streams, year-round ponds, red maple or brush swamps, bogs, wet meadows, and vernal ponds. The loss of any one of these wetland types would diminish the rich variety of plants, insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals that share this part of the earth with us.

[10] Dr. John and Doris Cannon SLT Land Donors and Life Members

The Cannons were one of the earliest landowners to recognize the value of gifting land to the Simsbury Land Trust. In the late 1970s Dr. Cannon developed a portion of his Firetown Road property, but donated approximately 23 acres of it to the Simsbury Land Trust. Looking back on that decision, Dr. Cannon says, “Not only were Doris and I able to protect the more environmentally important parts of the property, but we hoped that the early gift would help the land trust get up and running and provide an example for others.” Twenty seven years later, he is still contributing to the Simsbury Land Trust as an honorary co-chair of its current acquisition campaign and is a strong advocate of using more land trust sites for educational purposes.

[11] Scenic Vistas One of the most important factors in creating our sense of place is the visual landscape. Simsbury is fortunate to have a number of notable physical features. To a degree the community has been successful in maintaining well distributed panoramas where development is scattered, hidden or non-existent. There is a contentment and hopefulness that comes with living within a natural setting that we do not experience in a manmade world surrounding isolated parks, no matter how spectacular those parks might be. Continuous natural corridors or greenbelts are much more valuable than individual, isolated parcels. They support a wider variety of species because of greater size, a greater likelihood of mixed habitats, better buffers from incompatible use, and generally more interesting hiking and educational opportunities.
