Purchase of Meadowood Open Space approved by town voters at May 20 Referendum.
Thank you!
I want to thank everyone who voted in the town's referendum on May 20th to approve the town's acquisition of the Meadowood triangle. I believe that the town's purchase and preservation of this property will benefit all of us and help Simsbury continue to be a wonderful place to live.
Thanks to the town's public officials who worked over the years to bring this proposal to the citizens of Simsbury.
Chuck Howard
President

Campaign Update
Campaign for Simsbury — Tulmeadow Farm Woodlot
We need your help to preserve the remaining piece of Tulmeadow Farm — the 73 acre woodlot!
The Simsbury Land Trust has been working with the Tuller family to permanently protect the 260-acre Tulmeadow Farm through conservation easements. The Tulmeadow Woodlot is the last
73 acres still unprotected. The woods cover 73 acres at the far south side of the farm. They are
known to many as the site of the Halloween Hayrides organized annually by Flamig Farm.
We need your help to preserve this woodlot for its own value and for what it adds to the overall town. Sale of the conservation easement to the SLT, instead of development, will ensure that the family farm remains a viable and treasured community landmark for years to come.
The option agreement with the Tuller family expires next year. The Simsbury Land Trust must raise $3.1 million by next summer to protect this important tract of land. We are seeking public funding, but we will need significant support from Simsbury and area residents to complete this project. For more information on how you can help us protect the Tulmeadow Woodlot go to the Campaign section of the website or call 860-651-8773. |
