For six decades, NCLC has advanced the protection of Northwest Connecticut’s special places. And, we are just beginning! Our commitment to safeguarding the lands and waters we all cherish is stronger than ever. As Northwest Connecticut’s regional land trust, we are excited to continue this work—creating a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone.
With an exciting vision for the future, NCLC is working in collaboration with the region’s land trust community to boldly accelerate the pace and scale of conservation. With your support, we are creating vibrant and sustainable communities for today and for generations to come. Thank you for being a part of this journey!
