Julie Wagner, President, Branford Land Trust
Have you hiked a trail in Branford? Or enjoyed a view of a saltmarsh? Or watched the ospreys nesting in the spring? If so, chances are you have enjoyed the work of the all-volunteer Branford Land Trust. Since 1967 the BLT has protected Branford’s natural resources, acquired and managed open space, promoted public access, educated the public about our natural resources, and encouraged our community to get involved.
