Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who donated to your land trust during the Great Give!  It takes you, our members and friends, to safeguard open space in Hamden—along with the hermit thrushes, red trillium flowers, spotted salamanders and other forest dwellers who call it home. We couldn't do it without you.

Bringing Back Nature

Earth Day has come and gone, but you can still wake up to the Earth in a host of exciting new ways. Click out the handout below for some ideas for  bringing nature to your yard, schoolyard or local preserve.

Six Lakes

Many of our members share an interest in the Hamden property Six Lakes also called Powder Farm. Owned by the Olin Corporation, it’s a hidden gem with 102 wooded acres and six ponds situated just north of Hamden's Newhall neighborhood. At your land trust, we are working with Save the Sound, CONECT and neighborhood leaders to preserve Six Lakes as a park and nature preserve for all Hamden residents to enjoy. Find out more about what makes this property special in this video of the virtual forum held last year. To learn more about Six Lakes, download and read the vision documents prepared by Yale School of the Environment students below.
