Joan Maloof founder of the Old-Growth Forest Network spoke at Aspetuck Land Trust’s annual Haskins Lecture last night at The Westport Library. She announced that a section of the 1,009 acre Trout Brook Valley Conservation Area on the green and red trails will be in the Old Growth Forest Network. Stay tuned for the official ribbon cutting next year. The area will be marked and be included on the OGFN website. Thank you Joan Maloof for an inspiring talk and for your efforts to save our nations last remaining old growth forests! https://www.joanmaloof.com/

Our Caryl and Edna Haskins preserve on Green Acre Lane in Westport now has a new Miyawaki forest! Come see it. We are creating plans for people that want to plant these in their own yards. We’ve planted eight of these forests throughout Bridgeport and are planning a large forest adjacent to Norwalk, high school. A big thanks to volunteers at TCS in Westport, CT for helping to repair our world by planting this first Miyawaki Forest in Westport!

Things are going green in Bridgeport! We started planting the Baldwin Plaza poetry garden in downtown Bridgeport yesterday. Thanks to the City of Bridgeport, CT - Government and Bridgeport Public Schools teacher Ron Rapice for his inspiration and leadership to bring poetry to young people in Bridgeport.
We believe nature can drive revitalization in the great Park City and we want to thank Mayor Joe Ganim for his leadership.
This Fall is the 3-year anniversary of our first Miyawaki micro Forest planted in the City of Bridgeport at Blackham School. The first forest of its kind planted in the state of Connecticut! Our goal is to bring natural beauty to the city and increase the tree canopy which is much lower than its surrounding suburban neighbors. These forests also bring flood relief, and water filtration. Everyone deserves accessible nature and the beauty it provides.
