Branford Land Trusts Needs Your Help to Preserve Land

We’re almost there! The Branford Land Trust is just $40,000 away from its goal to raise $475,000 to preserve .

If you can help us raise half of that, or $20,000, it will be matched by challenge grants from the Foote Family Charitable Trust, Bank of America, Trustee, and Seedlings Foundation. That doubles every donation we receive—$50, $500, $1000 or more!

To date, the Land Trust has helped to preserve 1,000 acres of open space in the Supply Ponds/Queach and Pisgah Brook/Saltonstall Mountain Preserves. Adding the 24-acre Pieper Woodlands and the 37-acre Johnson Farm properties will protect one of Branford’s last working farms, close the last gap in the trail system that spans the entire Pisgah Brook watershed, and provide a new entrance to the trails.

Come see the land for yourself! The Land Trust is leading free walks on the property on Sunday, June 26 and Saturday, July 9. Then, send in your contribution to the Branford Land Trust (noting Pieper/Johnson Farm on your check), P.O. Box 254, Branford, CT 06405, or visit www.branfordlandtrust.org for more information.
