Greetings, Friends and Members of Middlebury Land Trust, Inc.,

We were successful last fall in our application for a grant from the Connecticut Land Conservation Council (CLCC) and the Land Trust Alliance (LTA) for the purpose of improving and organizing the management of our fee and easement properties.  We will be moving into the implementation phase of this grant in the next couple of months.  Please note that one of the funders for this initiative by CLCC/LTA is the Connecticut Community Foundation, which as we all know is active in many ways within our area.  Specifically, this project is funded in part by an award from the Connecticut Land Trust Challenge Fund, administered by the Connecticut Land Conservation Council in partnership with the Land Trust Alliance.  This collaborative effort to increase the pace and quality of land conservation is made possible by the generous support of the Connecticut Community Foundation, The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, and the Jessie B. Cox Charitable Lead Trust.  We are immensely grateful to all organizations and individuals who are making this effort possible.

Best wishes,

W. Scott Peterson, M.D., President
Middlebury Land Trust, Inc.
