Newtown Forest Association, Inc.(NFA) is the oldest private land trust in Connecticut. It is a 501(c)3 tax exempt
not-for-profit organization dedicated to accumulating and preserving open space and resources for public enjoyment
within the Town of Newtown, Connecticut. The Forest Association is managed by an all volunteer Board of Directors that are residents of Newtown and are not
subject to the

changes in the political structure; accordingly, we can maintain our mission generation after generation. NFA operates completely independent of the Town of Newtown and we receive no funding from the town's taxpayers. The NFA is dependent upon funds it receives from its generous donors and membership dues. NFA now owns approximately 1,000 acres that are preserved as open space for perpetuity. Some of our properties have been donated to us with conditions that designate them as wildlife sanctuaries, bird havens
or just natural, undisturbed forest. No matter what type of land, wet, dry, meadow or forest, it is held for all time as open
space for the benefit of the Newtown community and all nature lovers.

This month's Sturgeon Full Moon coincides with a partial lunar eclipse. Unlike a solar eclipse no special glasses are required to view it. Earth's shadow blocks most direct sunlight, scattering red light onto the lunar surface to create a "Blood Moon" effect, even though it is technically a partial eclipse.

Crossing our fingers for clear skies!

The 2026 Perseid meteor shower will peak overnight from August 12 to August 13. During peak activity, observers can expect to see up to 100 meteors per hour under dark-sky conditions. Because the peak coincides with a new moon, visibility will be exceptional.

Last year’s display was incredible!

Park at bottom of hill. Bring chair/blanket for viewing and a flashlight for the walk up to the top of hill. Weather permitting.

NFA member-only event.
