Mission Statement
The Connecticut Forest and Park Association is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people to the land in order to protect forests, parks, walking trails, and open spaces in Connecticut for public enjoyment.
About This Cause
The Connecticut Forest and Park Association is the first conservation organization established in Connecticut (1895) with a demonstrated track record of saving special places whose very names mean Connecticut. Peoples State Forest. Mohawk State Forest. Gillette Castle. Rocky Neck. Sherwood Island. Talcott Mountain. All of these special places were protected through partnership efforts that CFPA catalyzed. In addition to protecting land for public enjoyment, CFPA's visionary leaders established the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trail System in 1929 which traverses public and private lands throughout Connecticut and is enjoyed by thousands of residents each year. Today, approximately 825 miles of trails are maintained by hundreds of CFPA volunteers working in cooperation with many public and private landowner trail hosts. With a Staff of experienced conservation professionals and a Board of Directors who strongly support CFPA's mission and values, CFPA delivers programs designed to "Conserve" (Trail Stewardship and Land Conservation), "Connect" (CT Trails Day), "Advocate" (Legislative Agenda), and "Educate" (Master Woodland Manager, Master Naturalist, Education Program). Our headquarters is located at the James L. Goodwin Forest & Park Center in the Rockfall section of Middlefield, CT.
