We are thrilled that Eric found time in his packed schedule to speak to us about the amendment because, in all honesty, there is no one in the state more qualified to speak about this amendment initiative than Eric. Eric Hammerling has served as CFPA’s Executive Director since May 2008 and is the lead advocate for CFPA at the state legislature where he works primarily on forestry, recreation, education, and trail-related policy issues. (The CFPA, founded in 1895, was the first private, nonprofit, conservation organization to be established in Connecticut “to develop public appreciation of the value of forests, and of the urgent need for preserving and using them rightly.”) Recently, Eric has been advocating tirelessly in support of the constitutional amendment to protect our state public beaches, parks, forests, landmarks, and wildlife management areas from being given away by the legislature without adequate public input. He founded and is serving as treasurer of the constitutional amendment advocacy organization, Protect CT Public LandsCoalition, Inc.
Thank you and we’ll see you at the Town Hall Annex on the 25th!
