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.

We need help cleaning out the items left from the farmer who had formerly leased some farmland on the preserve to grow food and teach children about organic farming.
All help is greatly appreciated. We could especially use anyone with a trailer so we could load it up with chairs, rain barrels, water pumps, hoses, and other miscellaneous items to haul away.
Please RSVP to our Conservation Chairs at conservation@trlandconservancy.org if you are interested in helping.
Park at the left side of Granbrook Park off of Route 189.
Between 2023 and 2024, TRLC put in more than 100 hours clearing invasives from around the wetland copse (“The island”) in the southern field, and in 2024 we planted native species there to replace them. This year we hired a contractor to remove invasives from the banks of the brook between the two fields, so we are making progress!
At this work party, we will continue to remove common buckthorn and bittersweet vines within and around the island. Park at the end of the cul-de-sac on Stone Hill.

Come visit this 7.5-acre preserve and help us to eradicate common buckthorn and border privet. The headwaters of Trout Brook are right across the street from this preserve and run through the property. It’s a hidden gem tucked away in a West Hartford neighborhood.
