A community effort made possible through a grant to the Eastern Connecticut Conservation District (ECCD) by the generosity of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) through the Long Island Sound Funders Collaborative (LISFC).

This network brings together community members, watershed groups, and conservation partners to share resources, collaborate, and inspire action for clean water and healthy ecosystems. ECTWN builds regional connections so that communities, organizations, and watershed groups can work together for cleaner rivers, healthier wetlands, and a thriving Long Island Sound.
