What an incredible honor to join the company of previous recipi 651-0376 ents like Lucy and Seth Holcombe, the Godard Family, Paula and Whitey Johnson, Dave Dave Russell, Treasurer Russell, and Put and Nannie Brown. 653-7441 Trish and I love Granby. We love its people, its sense of community and, of course, we love its natural beauty. When we reflect upon our involvement in the Land Trust, we Leslie Judge, Secretary think of those who have inspired us to get involved – and stay involved – in this great 653-4733 organization. Board Bill Percival, Sr. Trish’s dad grew up in the Delaware River Valley, where he learned to hunt, fish, boat, canoe, trap, and camp – and where he learned to love the outdoors. He Fran Armentano moved to Granby because it reminded him of home. During his lifetime, he visited as 653-0631 many of this country’s national parks as he could, and he instilled a love and respect for nature in all of his children (I count myself as one of them!). Put Brown Hans Thoma. My Uncle Hans taught us about land preservation. During family 653-7557 walks on Thanksgiving, he introduced us to what a land preservation organization could Dick Caley achieve. He and his wife Ginna generously supported the East Quabbin Land Trust in 653-3496 Central Massachusetts and made significant land gifts to that organization, helping to preserve the beautiful open land of Hardwick, MA. Dave Emery Dave Schupp. Dave Schupp is a good friend we have known for most of our lives. 653-3746 A former GLT president, Dave got me involved with the Land Trust in 2001. We had Els Fonteyne recently moved to West Granby – largely because of its open land in that part of town (including a 118-acre conservation easement donated by Dave and his wife Sandy). Dave 413-9709 led by his example and I followed. Jamie Gamble Put Brown. We met Put through our involvement in the Land Trust and we now 653-9495 count him among our closest friends. Put inspires us with his incredible enthusiasm for the Granby Land Trust, his expertise in the field of land preservation, and his positive, Paula Johnson “can-do” attitude. 653-3132 While we were the recipients of this special award, I would be remiss if we did not- Lowell Kahn thank the entire GLT board - it is a thoughtful, multi-talented and dynamic group. Each of these folks spends a considerable amount of volunteer time each and every year, work 653-4911 ing together to do whatever it takes to preserve Granby’s Natural Heritage. Eric Lukingbeal Speaking of teamwork, the Granby Land Trust has achieved national accreditation 653-4239 from the Land Trust Alliance. This effort was a massive undertaking by the entire board. It is a testament to the passion and dedication of our Mike Mooney board that we are now one of just 10 land trusts in Connecticut to have 413-9150 achieved this mark of distinction. Shirley Murtha As you read this newsletter, we hope it will inspire you to become a member of the Granby Land Trust. Your membership sends a message 653-7607 that you care about Granby’s future and helps us preserve those special Dave Schupp places around our town. 653-2168 Sincerely, Mark Wetzel 653-9125 Rick Orluk If you have a comment or President, Granby Land Trust question about the Granby Land Trust Newsletter please contact Rick Orluk at 860.653.7095 or via email at 2 c [email protected]. 1 News & Notes • The Land Trust recognized GLT Incorporator and longtime GLT board member Charlie Katan at its October Annual Meeting for his many years of service.

Each of the six field foresters is responsible for the management of the vegetation found on the State Forest Lands assigned to them. The foundations for that management work are lo-year plans that are developed for approximately lo% of the forester's assigned area each year. Foresters also manage Wildlife Management areas and State Park lands, as requested by the Wildlife and State Parks Divisions, respectively. These plans set the management strategy for DEP foresters to follow as they work to maintain dynamic ecosystems by increasing species diversity and age class diversity in forest stands. The management of state-owned lands aims to be responsive to the social and economic needs of Connecticut's population, but to provide for those needs in a responsible, sustainable manner.
