The Wolfebrook property has exceptional ecological and historical features. Eccleston Brook, pictured above, runs through it.
As the year end approaches, we have an extraordinary opportunity to help the Town of Groton forever protect one of Groton’s most environmentally rich properties— the 161-acre Wolfebrook property located north of Route 1 and south of 95 and between Noank Ledyard Rd. and Flanders Rd. Groton Conservation Advocates invites you to join with us to make this acquisition happen.
GCA is partnering with the Town of Groton and Groton Open Space Association to protect this keystone property from development. Please take a few minutes to read our brochure; it provides maps and beautiful pictures of Wolfebrook and details the exceptional ecological and historical values that led both the CT Dept. of Energy and Environmental Protection and Groton’s Conservation Commission to place the property at the top of their acquisition lists decades ago.
GCA has pledged to raise $50,000 to close the purchase-price gap and establish a stewardship fund for trail maintenance and invasives management. We are asking everyone we know who values protecting open space to help with this effort. We hope you will consider a gift of $100 or whatever you can afford. Here’s how:
Gifts to GCA are not tax deductible because we are a 501(c)(4) organization. So, Groton Parks Foundation, a 501(c)3, has set up a restricted account to receive Wolfebrook gifts, which will then be turned over to the Town to fund the purchase and stewardship.
Please make your check payable to the Groton Parks Foundation, write “Wolfebrook purchase” on the memo line, and mail to Groton Parks Foundation at 29 Spicer Ave., Groton, CT, 06340. Thank you for considering a donation to this most worthy of causes. Our best wishes for a very happy holiday season and healthy new year.
