About Us
The Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy was formed in April 2023 from the merger of East Granby Land Trust, West Hartford Land Trust and Wintonbury Land Trust (Bloomfield), and as of November 2024, Windsor Land Trust. With a regional approach and shared resources, our mission is to help our communities protect the environment, preserve local farms and connect residents with the outdoors from the ridgeline to the rivers.
The Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy protects 40 properties covering 637 acres, including:
- Untouched forest and wetland areas, and critical meadow habitats
- Hiking trails and great locations to observe birds and other wildlife
- Four active farms, including a community garden and a farm used for educational programs
