The Avon Land Trust has recently re-activated its Acquisition Committee, to identify properties of interest, prioritize them, and approach the landowners about possible donation or purchase. Bill Shea will lead the committee.  The land trust has acquired three properties in the past three years, and hopes to acquire more!

The Avon Land Trust is proud to announce it has received a very generous grant of $20,525 from the Richard P. Garmany Fund. The grant will be used to make major improvements to three of our properties. Richard P. Garmany was an avid skier, tennis player, boater, and enjoyed hunting, fishing and the great outdoors.  He had a long, distinguished career at Aetna, where he was beloved by his many colleagues.  Richard P. Garmany was also a resident of Avon.

It’s now OFFICIAL! The Avon Land Trust is receiving a grant for $4,000 from Avon Greater Together (AGT). AGT is like a subsidiary or satellite of the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, but Hartford Foundation created town-specific boards that are closely attuned to the unique needs of each town. They have conducted two surveys in recent years, and have their ears to the ground, and run a tight ship. We are all on the side of angels — on the same team, pulling together to make the Avon community a better place to live for our children and grandchildren. THANKS AVON GREATER TOGETHER!
