Land Conservation Supporters to Gather at Trout Brook Valley Preserve, July 26

Easton, CT – The Connecticut Land Conservation Council and Aspetuck Land Trust will sponsor a tour of the Trout Brook Valley Preserve in Easton. This 1,009-acre land conservation success was made possible in part by a $6 million grant from the State of Connecticut in 1999. The tour will provide an opportunity for members of the Aspetuck Land Trust, other community leaders, local elected officials, and State legislators to discuss land conservation investments and priorities in the region.

The gathering will be held Thursday, July 26, from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m., with remarks by invited Elected Officials at the beginning.
