In 1965, as they watched unprotected salt marshes being filled for development, a small group of Guilford residents decided that some places were worthy of permanent protection. They joined together, created GLCT, and began the process of methodically assembling, for permanent protection, what is today the largest amount of open space protected by any single-town land trust in Connecticut. GLCT owes its continuing success to the steadfast support of our membership. By being a member of the land trust, you will stand with others in Guilford and beyond, who have chosen to maintain our natural treasures for future generations. GLCT is sustained by donations and by an active membership upon whom we can call when an exciting acquisition is in our sights.
A nature’s classroom, a hidden lake, a sweeping view, a picnic spot . . . 
your donations make it all possible. Thank you for supporting our work.
