Its a beautiful day for a walk through one of our meadows. They are absolutely striking at this time of year, with hundreds of flowering plants providing nectar and pollen for the pollinators that rely on them. #newcanaan #meadow #monarch #monarchbutterfly #goldenrod #landstewardship #landtrust #loveyourctlandtrust #pollinators #pollinatorpathway #nativeplants

Our meadows are abuzz with pollinators. This video was taken at our Livingston-Higley Preserve, where one if the many clusters of goldenrod is playing host to dozens of species of bees, wasps, butterflies, dragonflies, and other insects. And don’t worry: goldenrod isn’t what causes allergies, you can blame ragweed for that 🤣 #pollenators #goldenrod #solidago #meadow #wildflowers #healthyhabit #loveyourctlandtrust #newcanaan #landtrust

A nice break from trail work, and a seasonal favorite: wild grapes. We watch them grow all summer in anticipation of a fall harvest, being sure to leave plenty for the birds and other critters that rely on grapes for a high-calorie meal.

We spent a beautiful morning with four up-and-coming Eagle Scouts from Troop 70, felling, limbing, cutting, and stacking cedar logs for their service projects. The rot-resistant cedar logs will be used in the construction of raised walkways, water diversion bars, and more. Can’t wait to see their projects come together this fall!

Check out this month’s edition of @connecticutmagazine, featuring the growing success of the #pollinatorpathway in #Connecticut. We’re thrilled that #newcanaan is on the list of established pathways, and hope you’ll consider joining the initiative by planting #nativeplants and going #pesticidefree.

More stone wall work at Hicks Meadow! We are so happy with the progress and cannot thank Greg Faillaci enough for his help. Keep an eye out for volunteer days throughout the year to help us finish our goal. #loveyourctlandtrust #newcanaanct #newcanaanlandtrust #stonewalls

Look out for some new blue bird nesting boxes across our properties! Thank you so much to NCLT Board Member, Susan Bergen, for donating the necessary materials and helping us complete this project! #loveyourctlandtrust #nestingbox #bluebird #newcanaanct #livenewcanaan #newcanaanlandtrust

Join @wildlifeincrisis and the New Canaan Land Trust as we reintroduce two red foxes back to nature. Both foxes were brought to Wildlife in Crisis in critical condition, where they were nursed back to health. Now, they are ready for a second chance at life. The release will happen at NCLT's Colhoun Preserve (newcanaanlandtrust.org/colhoun/) along Davenport Ridge Road. The parking area is located directly across from 203 Davenport Ridge Road, through a wooden gate. This family-friendly event is free and open to the public. #newcanaanevent #newcanaan #landtrust #redfox #wildlife #nature #landtrust #loveyourctlandtrust

One of our goals with the Summer Steward Internship program is to show our interns how to repurpose dead material on our properties for meaningful projects. These cedars were once just dead material at Browne Preserve, but they will now serve as kindling for fires. #newcanaan #repurposing #loveyourctlandtrust #kindling

Join us on August 24th for our “Dogs of New Canaan” celebration: a morning full of family friendly activities including a scavenger hunt, portrait station with your pup, and treats humans and dogs alike.

Our interns are in the process of clearing a path for Greg Faillaci, a local stonemason, to help us extend the stone wall along Hicks Meadow on Silvermine Road. Throughout the year, look out for volunteer opportunities at our stone wall building workshops! #loveyourctlandtrust #newcanaanct #silverminefowlerpreserve #meadow #stonewall #newcanaanlandtrust

Meet our interns for the second session of the 2019 Summer Steward Internship program! Aryan, Drew, Javan, Crawford, and Jack will be completing many projects across our properties from now until August 23rd. If you see us walking NCLT trails, be sure to say hello!

As you walk our trails, you may come across long logs embedded in the soil. These are water bars, and they prevent rain and runoff from eroding our trails! After large rain events, like the ones we experienced this past week, the bars need cleaning so they can continue to divert water. Thank you to Jack Craig, one of our Summer Steward Interns, for his hard work at Watson-Symington today! #newcanaanct #newcanaanlandtrust #loveyourctlandtrust #landstewardship
