🏆 CONGRATULATIONS TO STEVE PERRY – RECIPIENT OF THE GLT’S 2026 ANN PELKA UNSUNG HERO AWARD!
At the Granby Land Trust’s 2026 Annual Meeting, the GLT Board presented the Ann Pelka Unsung Hero Award to Steve Perry (center) in recognition of his 12 years of dedicated service to the Granby Land Trust. To thank him, the Board gave Steve a framed photo, taken by Don Shaw, Jr., of the GLT Dewey Granby Oak.
Steve first connected with GLT as a GIS specialist, offering his expertise to help with mapping. What began as an offer to help grew into a wonderful 12-year relationship and countless contributions to the Land Trust and our community.
Steve’s talents extend well beyond mapping. Drawing on his forestry background, Steve also served as a property steward, lending a hand with everything from chainsaw work to identifying property boundaries. Whether mapping a property, solving a problem or helping care for our preserves, Steve has always been willing to pitch in.
As Steve prepares to retire next spring and return to Michigan, we extend our heartfelt thanks for his many years of service, commitment and friendship. Congratulations, Steve, and thank you for everything you've done for the Granby Land Trust and our community. You will be greatly missed 💚!
