The New Haven Land Trust is a nonprofit organization dedicated to land conservation, environmental education and community vegetable gardening in New Haven. Located just off I-95 and along the New Haven Harbor, Long Wharf Nature Preserve is a triumph of nature over human interference. The preserve, encompassing approximately 15 acres, is dominated by tall Cottonwood trees, which are almost all the result of natural seed dispersion. The tidal wetland and dune area have rejuvenated themselves in the 50
years since I-95 was constructed. The preserve is host to a panoramic view of the harbor and features a trail connecting the shore to the upland.
