From our team to yours

As a coalition organization, CLCC works along side Connecticut’s robust land trust community (~130—the third most in the country), as well as conservation organizations, watershed groups, municipalities, councils of government, regional conservation partnerships, and other entities and individuals committed to land conservation, addressing climate change, and building healthy, sustainable communities, for all to enjoy.

– Thank you for your partnership and all that you do to advance land conservation in your community
