An especially fitting fortune for this unseasonably warm day. While we don’t want to confuse #weather and #climate, the increasing number of these abnormal weather events is a stark reminder of the effects of #climatechange and the #climatecrisis.

Thank you @ctconservation and @ltalliance for a wonderful day discussing the many ways land trusts can help to combat #climatechange. We learned a lot, and are excited to bring this knowledge back to #NewCanaan. #loveyourctlandtrust #ctlandtrustclimateprimer #CLCC #landtrustalliance #landtrust #climate #naturalclimatesolutions #climateresiliency

This sapling was at the receiving end of a deer’s antlers. During the cold winter months, bucks will remove the velvet from their antlers by rubbing against small trees.

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 favor

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!

Join @wildlifeincrisis and the New Canaan Land Tru

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 Internshi

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.
