Important Call to Action!

March 23 – 25, 2015

Connecticut is in a budget crisis, and the General Assembly is considering cuts and legislation that will have lasting impacts on conservation efforts around the state:

• A complete sweep of the Community Investment Act over the next 2 years (plus an additional $10 million taken from existing open space funds)
• Cutting $2 million/year from our State Parks
• Eliminating the funding for the Council on Environmental Quality
• Conveying public lands to municipalities and private entities

As a result, the Connecticut Land Conservation Council has issued a Call to Action to all of those concerned with conservation. Please consider:

• Writing your State Legislators
• Calling your State Legislators
• Scheduling a visit with your State Legislators (We can help!)
• Writing an op-ed or letter-to-the-editor for your local paper

HOW? Take 15 minutes today and write a letter, make a phone call, pass the word! See the Call to Action PDF file for more information, a sample letter, and contact information.
