The Council’s mission is to advocate for land preservation, stewardship and funding, and ensure the long term strength and viability of the land conservation community. The intent of the new Council is to enable our conservation community to better learn from each other and to even more effectively advocate for critical issues at the State Capitol.
The Connecticut Land Conservation Council was formed in 2006 by the merger of two existing programs of The CT Chapter of Nature Conservancy: the Land Trust Service Bureau (LTSB) and the Land Conservation Coalition for Connecticut (LCCC). The Council provides CT’s conservation community with:
- Technical assistance and referrals for land trusts and other organizations on Connecticut-specific conservation topics
- A new and improved website to increase communications with the membership of CLCC
- Training and education, including the annual Convocation
- A voice and advocate for your organization and at the capitol
- Your source of conservation news and activity
- A venue for bringing forward issues of importance to other conservation groups
