🌊 This beautiful 2.8-acre preserve on Greenwich Cove, spilling out toward Long Island Sound, exists today thanks to one very forward-thinking woman: Beatrice Forsberg.

Active in local charitable work and passionate about protecting open space, Ms. Forsberg took steps to ensure her property would never be developed. In 1982, she deeded part of the property to The Nature Conservancy and set aside another parcel for Greenwich Land Trust in her will, protecting both pieces in perpetuity.

Today, GLT owns and stewards both parcels, which include woodlands, tidal wetlands and salt marsh habitat. 🌿🌊

Our stewardship team works to keep this special place healthy by managing vegetation, removing debris and tackling invasive species.

And today, we get a little glimpse into its past…

📸 These vintage photos of Ms. Forsberg’s property were most likely taken in the 1980s.

Pretty cool, right? 💚

🌿 Another week, another greenway post! 😉

Stretching across approximately 147 acres in northwest Greenwich, Byram River Preserve is one of Greenwich Land Trust’s largest and most ecologically significant properties.

The preserve follows the Byram River, protecting forests, wetlands, streams and riparian habitat that help filter water, reduce flooding and provide critical habitat for wildlife. 💧🦋🦅

Much of the property was originally assembled by The Nature Conservancy beginning in the 1960s and transferred to GLT in 2023 for continued local stewardship. GLT’s 8.5-acre Sacred Heart Preserve was also incorporated into the preserve.

But the story gets even bigger! Together with protected lands owned by Audubon, the Town of Greenwich and other conservation partners, Byram River Preserve is part of a 250+ acre connected greenway.

And in April 2025, that greenway was officially designated a state-recognized greenway by the Connecticut Greenways Council and CT DEEP! 🙌🏼

Access is currently limited as trails continue to evolve, but stay tuned for opportunities to explore this incredible landscape with GLT staff! 🌳

🌿 Sometimes, size isn’t everything.

The 4-acre Minguez Preserve, donated to Greenwich Land Trust in 2015, may be one of our smaller preserves, but its location makes it part of something much bigger.

Situated in northern Greenwich near the New York border, Minguez features beautiful and varied terrain that showcases the area’s rugged geology and rich ecological diversity. 🌳🪨

Most importantly, the preserve sits near several other GLT properties, helping create a 40+ acre greenway of protected open space. Together, these connected properties provide important habitat and wildlife corridors, protect water resources and strengthen the resilience of our local ecosystems.

It’s a great reminder that every acre of protected open space matters—and that when conserved lands connect, their impact can be so much greater than the sum of their parts. 💚

Now, feast your eyes on the beautiful flora and forest of Minguez! 😍

🌿 At 80 acres, Converse Brook Preserve is one of Greenwich Land Trust’s larger preserves—and just minutes from town, it feels like a whole different world.

This beautiful property came together through a partnership between Greenwich Land Trust and the Town of Greenwich (). In 2020, 72 acres were acquired from Aquarion Water Company (), followed by another 8 acres the following year. Together, they protect a remarkable piece of Greenwich’s natural landscape for generations to come. 🌳

One of the first sights to greet visitors is Ross Meadow, a restored native grassland that provides important habitat for pollinators and birds. And ICYMI… we’re currently expanding the meadow! 🌾🐝

From there, you can explore approximately three miles of trails winding through open fields, shaded woodlands and varied terrain. The trails are named in honor of local conservationist David Ogilvy and offer something for both casual walkers and more seasoned hikers.

📍 Find it off Cherry Valley Road, between Old Mill Road and Bayberry Lane.

Open daily from sunrise to sunset. But please stay on the trails—and leave your four-legged friends at home, as pets are not permitted.

Come explore one of Greenwich’s special places. We think you’ll agree: it’s worth the trip. 💚
