Even though the hazy lazy days of summer are upon us, the Prospect Land Trust is still busy planning for this years up coming events. We are hoping to provide many opportunities for the membership as well as the community to come together (guest speakers, fundraisers, Fall Hike, and CT. Recycles Day, are just a few example of what’s to come!).

Ann Stein, a member from the PLT has been an active participant for the past two years on the Prospect Open Space planning sub-committee of the Conservation Commission. She provided an overview of the work that has been done to date by the committee at the PLT Annual meeting held on April 24th. Presently, they have put out to bid the work of synthesizing the research that’s been collected into an effective document that can be presented to the Town as a formal Open Space Plan.

Unfortunately the Prospect Land Trust’s Annual Hike/Picnic on June 26th had to be canceled due to weather concerns. Our next hike is planned for during the Fall Season. Look for information in upcoming articles on our Fall Hike as to time and place.
