The New Canaan Land Trust invites its members and the community to its annual membership meeting. The Land Trust’s annual meeting offers local residents the opportunity to learn more about the 52-year organization and meet like-minded members of the community.

The meeting will feature guest-speaker Eric Hammerling, Executive Director of the Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA), a 124-year old non-profit dedicated to connecting people to the land in order to protect forests, parks, walking trails, and open space in Connecticut for future generations. Drawing on his 29-year conservation career, Hammerling will address what CFPA does to connect people to the land, and the importance of incorporating land and forest conservation into Connecticut’s plans for addressing climate change. Tom Cronin, NCLT’s Board President, Art Berry, Treasurer and Aaron Lefland, Executive Director, will also provide brief updates of the Land Trust’s past year results and the 2020 plan.
