The CT DEEP Open Space & Watershed Land Acquisition Grant Program (OSWA), funded through the Community Investment Act and bonding, is the backbone of land conservation efforts in Connecticut.

Since the program began in 1998, more than $125 million in state funding has been awarded to municipalities, land trusts, and water companies to assist in the purchase of more than 36,400 acres of land, including farmlands, in 139 cities and towns across Connecticut.

Congratulations to our 2019 honorees!
