Where Does the Money Go? 
Wine & Dine is Wintonbury Land Trust’s major annual fundraising event, contributing over $36,250 to our work in the past four years! Last year’s event enabled our 501(c)3, all-volunteer nonprofit to:
Maintain our pastures, fields, and meadows:
- Proper stewardship requires periodic mowing of pastures, fields, and meadows. We “caught up” on some deferred cutting at the Sinnot Farm-The Knoll site and maintained our Hawk Hill Farm pastures, Stout Family Fields, and Evans Family Meadows.
- Work with the town to promote Lisa Lane Farm community gardens and to improve the LaSalette Trail.
Advance the mission of Hawk Hill Farm:
- Purchased parts to repair a donated tractor. This will enable WLT to do some of the mowing and trail maintenance with volunteers at a reduced expense,
Fund educational outreach events:
- Presented Monarch Butterfly Habitats lecture at WLT annual meeting at the 4-H Education Center at Auerfarm.
- Co-sponsored with Bloomfield Leisure & Senior Services Departments a Black Bears in CT lecture. (Over 100 people attended!)
- Conducted nature hikes on CT Trails Day.
- Organized annual Over the Mountain Hike with co-sponsors Simsbury Land Trust and Town of Bloomfield.
- Paid for insurance, supplies, website maintenance, postage, and unexpected stewardship expenses such as the complicated removal of barbed wire fence from WLT’s Van Otterloo Preserve.
Please join us in connecting people with nature and protecting our community’s natural resources, farmlands, and wildlife corridors:
