Stamford Land Conservation Trust (SLCT) is proud to announce the acquisition of the 64-acre Harry Day Preserve, a vital addition to Stamford’s preserved natural landscapes. This property, originally slated for development, now forms part of a contiguous 216-acre green space, joining the existing Helen Altschul and Chuck Scarborough Preserves.
This acquisition was made possible through a discounted charitable purchase with generous support from the State of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the City of Stamford, and private donors. The preserve features rich woodlands, streams, and Altschul Pond, all of which contribute to the protection of the Mianus River watershed.
Visitors to the Harry Day Preserve will find an extensive trail system for public recreation, off-street parking, and multiple entrance points from Riverbank Road, Den Road, and the Altschul Preserve. Additionally, the site holds historical significance, with an abandoned foundation dating back approximately 100 years.
