Invasive Plant Workdays
We are getting to the end of the season when the herbicide are effective but if we get a few nice days we will try to schedule a work day or two to cut down some invasives to make them easier to tackle next year.
Thank you for all your efforts this year helping to remove invasives on the SLT preserves, Onion Mountain, or in your own yard!
Join us for a morning (or two or three) of invasive plant removal, along with a little education, camaraderie, habitat restoration, and some snacks! These volunteer opportunities will teach you how to identify and manage invasive plants in your own backyard while you help us control and remove these harmful plants on the SLT preserves.
You are welcome to join us on all or any of these dates. Please let us know in advance if you will be joining us so that we can let you know of any last minute changes due to weather or other issues. If you are interested in attending these workdays, please email margerywinters@comcast.net.
Please dress appropriately for working in the woods! Bug spray, sunscreen, long pants and long sleeves recommended. Bring loppers and work gloves if you have them. Please bring water to drink. SLT has a limited supply of tools for use by attendees.
Workdays are cancelled if there is inclement weather.
Upcoming SLT Invasive Removal Workdays from 9:00 a.m.- 11:00 a.m.
Workdays are cancelled due to inclement weather.
Please email margerywinters@comcast.net to volunteer.
Invasive Plant Workday
To Be Determined as Temperatures Allow
Please bring bug spray, water, heavy garden gloves, eye protection, good long-handled loppers, and a completed waiver form if you have not already filled one out.
No problem if you can't stay for the full 2+ hours - you are welcome to join us for whatever time you have available!
Hope to see you at the upcoming removal days!
Welcome!
Simsbury Land Trust is a non-profit conservation organization that protects the rich natural diversity of Simsbury through the ownership of land and conservation easements.
- It is 803 Simsbury households that, year after year, support its operations through their annual membership donations.
- It is the three dozen families who have chosen the SLT as the vehicle through which to permanently preserve their beloved land for the enjoyment of future generations.
- It is the hundreds of families who have not had the land to donate but who have provided over $2.3 million over the past 20 years to help in the acquisition of specific tracts of land.
- It is the dozens of volunteers who give of their time, skills and effort and who serve as trustees, committee members, stewards, teachers, speakers and guides.
- It is local businesses and professionals who have donated countless products and services.
- It is an executive director and a finance and membership director who have spent the last 20 years establishing a level of structure and professionalism without which the organization would not have succeeded.
- Because of the Simsbury Land Trust, Rosedale Farms, Tulmeadow Farm and the George Hall Farm are now permanently protected farmland, the Western Ridge and much of the wetlands at its base are protected wildlife corridors, and bobolinks and woodcock are now nesting in the meadows east of the river.
We urge you to visit the trails we maintain on many of our properties and to watch for activities, events and publications that we sponsor. We know you will enjoy the chance to get outdoors, to learn more about the exceptional natural environment here in Simsbury and to meet other people who share your interests. Visit our website often to learn of these and other opportunities. As you get to know us, we hope you will want to become a member and to support the Simsbury Land Trust with an annual membership, an occasional acquisition or stewardship gift, or with a contribution of your time.
If you register and are unable to attend you will be sent the recording after the event.

Simsbury Land Trust protects over 1,100 acres of land. Many of those acres are contigous land acquired over time. Contigous land is great for hiking trails and it is also helpful to animals like these deer to access a variety of vegetation. Deer eat woody plants like sassafras and sumac, forbs like goldenrod and ragweed, fruit like acorns and berries and grasses like switchgrass; all of which are available different times of year in different habitats. In Simsbury many of those habitats are connected because of the intentional work of the Simsbury Land Trust. Let's keep protecting land together.
