Dear Friend,
We appreciated members' feedback during the information sessions and other conversations about the proposal to form a regional land trust with West Hartford Land Trust and East Granby Land Trust. On March 8 our Board of Directors unanimously approved a Plan of Merger in accordance with Section 33-1155 of the Connecticut Revised Nonstock Corporation Act and now submits the Plan to the Land Trust Members for consideration.
Per Wintonbury Land Trust's bylaws, the Board of Directors calls an in-person Special Meeting of Members on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, 7:00 - 8:00 pm, at the Human Services Center, 330 Park Ave, Bloomfield, CT. The purpose of the meeting will be to consider and vote on a Plan of Merger among Wintonbury Land Trust, West Hartford Land Trust, and East Granby Land Trust and any other matters properly raised by attendees.
The Plan of Merger includes new Bylaws, a revised Certificate of Incorporation, and a new Board of Directors. The Plan and other background information are available at wintonburylandtrust.org/merger, or reply to this email if you need a paper copy.
Through this process we learned that our land trusts have similar characteristics and complementary strengths, and believe that merging will improve the long-term impact of your land preservation efforts. We recommend approving the Plan of Merger and hope you will attend!
Sincerely,
Dale Bertoldi, Sten Caspersson, Victor Herson, Paula Jones, Suzanne Petke, Christopher Shepard, Ashley Stewart, and Alexa Tzanova
Your WLT Board of Directors
