Today’s a big day for our GLT Earth 🌎 Day Cleanup efforts – we know that many of our volunteers will be out on our country roads today making a difference. A special thank you 🙏 to GLT Member Mark Kennedy, who spent nearly 8 hours yesterday cleaning up the northern part of Rt. 20.

GLT Board Member Eric Lukingbeal and former Granby Selectwoman Sally King spent time on Day Street today as part of the GLT’s Earth Day Weekend Cleanup. Eric and Sally exemplify what it means to be dedicated and selfless community members — giving their time and energy to Granby in countless ways over many years. We’re grateful they continue to show up and make a difference. Thank you 🙏 both for helping keep Granby clean, beautiful, and strong. We salute you! #Trashtag #GreatGlobalCleanup #EarthDay #CleanupGranby #GranbyCT LoveYourCTLandTrust

📣 GLT EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT – Earth Day Weekend Cleanup. In what has become a Granby tradition, the Granby Land Trust will take part in the Great Global Cleanup® over Earth Day Weekend (April 23–26). This worldwide campaign removes billions of pieces of trash from neighborhoods, beaches, rivers, lakes, trails, and parks — reducing waste and plastic pollution, improving habitats, and preventing harm to wildlife and people. Here in Granby, we’re asking residents to help clean up our roadsides as part of the GLT’s annual Earth 🌎 Day Weekend Cleanup. Choose any neighborhood you like — just 👉email us at [email protected] to let us know where you plan to work so we can avoid overlap and track our reach. In advance of April 23, all registered volunteers will get an email with more info about the effort and our new trash drop-off location. We thank USA Waste & Recycling, Lost Acres Vineyard, and Granby Congregational Church for their support! #EarthDay #GranbyLandTrust #GranbyCT #WestGranbyCT #NorthGranbyCT LoveYourCTLandTrust MyHappyPlace
