Help Make A Difference

When was the last time you hiked through a forest or skirted the edge of a marsh? Escaped for a walk and a breath of fresh air to clear your head? Land conservation helps preserve recreational open space in perpetuity, protects wildlife habitat, and mitigates the impacts of climate change.

Avalonia Land Conservancy has conserved more than 5,000 precious acres in Southeastern Connecticut, and we are looking to conserve more land that connects wildlife corridors and protects core forests and productive wetlands. We would love your help. There are many ways to make a difference and to keep our communities healthy and green.
