Grounds Management Committee
The Grounds Management Committee is made up of about 15 members. Several volunteers come from the USDA, the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), the North Central Conservation District, UConn's Master Gardener program, and 4-H programs that bring large amounts of talent to the committee. This committee oversees the development of the master plan.
The Tolland County Agricultural Center established this committee many years ago to guide development of the property. Major projects they have worked on are establishing a butterfly garden in the nature area, creating rain gardens adjacent to the pavilion, and other beautification projects.
