Meg Armstrong, Barry Guiduli and members of Staples High School SLOBS community volunteer organization volunteered their time to spruce up Aspetuck Land Trust’s Natural Playground at the Leonard Schine Preserve in Westport on November 7.
The Natural Playground was built in 2010 to encourage young children to get outside and explore nature. The Leonard Schine Preserve is named after the late Leonard Schine of Westport who helped create the organization in the 1960’s. To learn more about the Leonard Schine Preserve click here.
Aspetuck Land Trust is a non-profit land conservation organization founded in 1966 to preserve open space in the towns of Westport, Weston, Fairfield and Easton. Over the years, the land trust has protected 150 properties on over 1,900 acres of land and recently launched a Green Corridor initiative to save more land and increase biodiversity in the landscape.
