Greetings!
For those of you that live in
1. Press Conference FRIDAY to Announce the Face of CT
Campaign
We need
a BIG turnout February 16th at 11:30 -
The Face of
Connecticut campaign is an alliance of natural lands, farmland, historic
preservation and municipal redevelopment advocates who are calling on the State
of
· Plan
responsibly for growth and conservation
· Preserve
our most critical watershed and open space lands, farm lands, and historic
properties
· Restore
historic buildings, (and) neighborhoods and brownfields
· Protect
and maintain these resources once they have been preserved or restored.
The campaign grew out
of the urgent concern that we have very little time left to save the Face of
Connecticut - the resources that constitute the visual character of our state,
and more importantly reflect the health and vitality of our communities.
To most effectively protect these critical lands and properties we must
invest in them and take action from an integrated perspective. What happens in
our cities, historic neighborhoods and village centers affects whether our
farmlands and forests will survive. Those forests and farms in turn supply
clean water, healthy food and recreation for our urban and suburban residents.
Please
join us on Friday, February 16th at 11:30 at the
