Avalonia to Protect 159 Acres in Bozrah/Montville

Avalonia Land Conservancy, Inc. has purchased an important conservation property from the Glemboski-Ous family of 159.42 acres in Bozrah and Montville. This also abuts the Nature Conservancy’s 343-acre Milo Light Preserve in Montville, creating a nearly 500-acre unfragmented greenway wildlife habitat.

Glemboski-Ous Preserve will be located on South Road in Bozrah and Montville

Avalonia Board President Dennis S. Main noted “This acquisition is historic if overdue as it is the
first conservation effort for the land trust in mission area towns of Bozrah and Montville, both
underserved communities.

Special thanks and recognition go out to the State of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection for the $300,000 Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition (OSWA) grant, the Town of Bozrah for its matching $100,000. participation that made this acquisition possible, and the Connecticut Land Conservation Council for its Transaction Assistance Grant.”

This is the first of an expected dozen acquisitions of conservation tracts throughout New London County by the land conservancy that will occur during 2024.
