We had a great time at the Fish with CARE event at Brookfield Town Beach, right on Candlewood Lake! A part of the Housatonic River watershed, HVA is working to make sure native fish species in Candlewood and other parts of the watershed system have the habitat and conditions they need to survive and thrive. Connect with your local water bodies and practice your fishing skills by checking out Fish with CARE’s upcoming events this summer!

Happy World Environment Day to the Housatonic River — the lifeline of our beautiful region! From the tiniest minnow to the bald eagles, bears, and bobcats, we are so grateful to the species that share this world with us.

Protecting our natural resources and ecosystems is more important than ever. We hope you will join us in ensuring that the waters and open spaces of the Housatonic Valley are safeguarded for generations to come.
