Annual Membership Renewal & Stewardship Campaign

With the support of donors, members, and volunteers like you 2019 was a phenomenal year!

We are humbled and heartened to see your enthusiasm to keep land in and around Bloomfield flourishing as farms and wildlife corridors. We had many opportunities to enjoy these special places together: snowshoeing at Speer Preserve, Trails Day hikes in June, glorious foliage on the Over the Mountain hike through Stout Family Fields, and more. Your hard work and support also attracted attention: The Hartford Courant’s Peter Marteka featured Hawk Hill Farm in his column, and the Connecticut Land Conservation Council met there with State Legislators to highlight conservation efforts in the state. 

In 2020 we hope you will attend another event and resolve to support your Land Trust again. It’s that time of year, and it’s the only time we ask:

1. Please join or renew your annual January-December membership (or become a lifetime member).

All of the Land Trust’s operational expenses such as insurance are covered by our annual Wine & Dine fundraising event and membership contributions like yours.

2. Please make an additional special donation to the Stewardship Fund.

This supports a variety of on-going maintenance activities and new projects, e.g. mowing the Stout Family Fields and Hawk Hill Farm, restoring the unique barn cupola and completing the siding at Thrall Farm, continuing repairs of the historic barn at Hawk Hill Farm, and building trails in the new Beacon Hill Preserve and Evans Family Meadows.

Can the Land Trust count on your continued support to achieve these goals and to maintain the momentum of 2019? Please renew your membership and make a donation toward these stewardship challenges. We can’t do it without you!

Thank you for your support,

Wintonbury Land Trust Board of Directors
