The stakes are high for land conservation...

Greetings!

As the year draws to a close, I want to convey how much I—and all of us at the Connecticut Land Conservation Council—appreciate all you have done this past year.

With your support of CLCC, during this year like no other…

Land trusts shared, learned, and provided support for one another through CLCC’s Conserving Land by Staying Connected, which saw over 800 sign-ups for weekly roundtables and workshops.

Although the legislative session was canceled, the land conservation community was able to celebrate the release of state open space bond funds to ensure pending projects were funded and a new grant round announced.

Through CLCC’s regional programs, land trusts of all sizes across the state continued to work with one another to find commonalities, identify needs, and implement opportunities to collaborate.

At CLCC’s 2020 Connecticut Land Conservation (Virtual ) Conference, Outdoor Afro CEO Rue Mapp, along with a panel of esteemed experts, inspired land trusts to engage more with their communities, and others, to create a more welcoming and inclusive landscape.

While there are many uncertainties that lie ahead in 2021, we know that we will need to be vigilant and vocal in our advocacy to…

Protect, enhance, and create critical funding programs for land conservation

Establish bigger and bolder nature-based solutions to address climate change

Ensure that all people have safe access to the outdoors and protected natural resources

The stakes are high for land conservation. You are an essential member of our team.

Friend, your year-end gift ensures that land trusts throughout the state have the support in their community and the leadership at the Capitol to forge on with all facets of their work—from acquisitions and stewardship to collaborations and community partnerships—to conserve more land and water for healthier communities.

Thank you so much. Here's to a happy, healthy, and greener 2021!

Sincerely,

Amy Blaymore Paterson

Executive Director

P.S. There’s real urgency in the coming year to make sure we continue to advocate for land conservation funds and meaningful climate change action here in Connecticut. Your monthly gift, over the next year, will truly make a difference. Thanks again. I know we can do this together.
