Branford Land
Trust News

The Branford Land Trust News is a quarterly newsletter mailed to all Land Trust members. It contains a wide variety of information, including Land Trust activities and articles on natural history matters that apply to the Branford area. [As a matter of fact, many of the article in our Flora and Fauna Archives are reprinted here from previous issues of the newsletter.]

Local writers, artists and environmentalists often contribute to our publication, and articles are also reprinted from sources like the State Department of Environmental Protection's publication Connecticut Wildlife. What results is a publication that is frequently praised for its appearance and content.

The Land Trust News was honored with a Communication Award presented at the 2004 Land Trust Convocation sponsored by the Land Trust Service Bureau, an arm of the Connecticut Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. “Given for outstanding communications through its newsletter and internet web site. High quality graphic design provides Land Trust members, town offices, businesses and the library with up-to-date information on current protection projects, public access preserves, town natural resources, local land use issues, and a calendar of events. The newsletters, mailed to over 750 recipients, and web site, with several hundred “visits” a month, do an excellent job keeping the Branford Land Trust in the public eye.”
