Fall Foliage Walk at Gavel Family Farm Preserve

On October 18 at 11 am, Director of Development Barbara Bradbury Pape will lead a walk at the Gavel Family Farm Preserve to enjoy the foliage and vista, as well as explore the history and meadow habitat restoration project underway at the site. 

Once a prominent farming field, the Gavel Family Farm Preserve is now preserved as open space for both humans and creatures to enjoy. The Trust recently began a project to revitalize a 6.5- acre section of the preserve, encouraging healthy habitats for numerous woodland creatures.  From the removal of invasive species to the reseeding of the meadow, participants will learn about the Trust’s efforts to create a sustainable meadow habitat.  Participants are encouraged to wear appropriate weatherproof footwear, bring a water bottle and be prepared for an hour-long easy walk with possible uneven terrain.

September 11 – October 23, 2021

Minor Memorial Library, 23 South Street, Roxbury, CT

Featuring the work of 50 local artists, an exhibition and sale of specially created, thematic art works will open on September 11, 2021 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm at Minor Memorial Library.

The show is titled “Visions of the Roxbury Land Trust Preserves ”.  All of the artists displaying their works reside in northwest Connecticut and their art reflects each individual’s interest in and appreciation for the countryside protected by the Roxbury Land Trust.  Each artist has exhibited works in the area and state-wide.  Some have also exhibited in galleries in New York as well as in galleries abroad.  Inspired by the natural beauty found on these more than 3,800 protected acres of fields, woodlands and waterways, they have created two-dimensional pieces using oils, pen and ink, acrylics and watercolors. Scenes depict bucolic farm fields, sweeping vistas and meandering streams.
