Land Acquisition

Our goal is to ensure that a sufficient amount of the unprotected natural areas become protected in the Bristol Region.  By protecting additional lands, to form a network of continuous green ways, the people of our area will continue to benefit from the positive effects these lands currently have on our quality of life. These areas not only provide valuable habitat for plant and animal life, but maintain the environmental quality and esthetic values of our communities and also serve as tremendous learning laboratories for our children and recreational opportunities for families.

Secure New Preserves

Several new project areas are underway to protect the entire South Mountain, Compounce Mountain, and Southington Mountain.  This area is the largest contiguous ridge remaining in Connecticut. Several parcels need to be preserved in order to complete the protection of this unique area.  The Center will work to coordinate these land acquisitions with other private and governmental agencies.
