Reason #1: Your Support Preserves Local Open Space
- In 2012, we preserved the 34-acre Randall's Farm property in Easton.
- We're partnering with Friends of Southport on a new 10-acre park in downtown Southport which will be open to the public in 2013.
- Hundreds of volunteers improve our trails, remove invasive plants, prune blueberries and apple trees, lead our educational hikes, and maintain our trails.

- 17 CT Endangered Species and 80 species of Greatest Conservation Need were discovered and an incredible 146 bird species were found on the property.
