Connecticut is home to approximately 120 land trusts – grassroots organizations that have worked tirelessly to conserve more than 190,000 acres of land. From protecting our clean water and air to helping communities adapt to the changing climate, land trusts are at the heart of conservation – where it matters most: right here at home.

And their impact goes far beyond the land…

Land trusts connect people to nature through trails and programs for all ages. They partner with local communities to preserve working farms, create parks, and ensure access to green spaces. They build wildlife corridors, plant pollinator pathways, and safeguard the places that make Connecticut special – from scenic views to historic landmarks.

Today, conservation is growing to meet the needs of more people than ever before. Land trusts are bringing together neighbors, improving community resilience, and making nature more accessible, equitable, and welcoming for all.

This Giving Tuesday, show your appreciation for the land trust that makes a difference in your community. Your support strengthens their ability to create a healthier, more vibrant future for us all.
#LoveYourCTLandTrust — today and everyday!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at the Connecticut Land Conservation Council
