The Joy You Bring Through Nature
The Joy You Bring Through Nature
The impact of your support goes way beyond just conserving Connecticut’s forests, parks, and trails.
Supporting CFPA isn’t just about trails and forests—you are also making a positive impact on people’s lives. And that brings joy and saves lives.
Did you know that loneliness can have a detrimental effect on your health? Just ask the U.S. Surgeon General. Lonely people have a 26% increased risk of death.
By supporting our trails and programs, you are helping to connect people to the natural world and to each other.
CFPA’s Windham Project connects young people to the wonder and peacefulness of the outdoors. Connecticut fairy shrimp swim upside-down?
Trails Day brings together thousands of people from all walks of life to enjoy the BlueBlazed Hiking Trails. CFPA’s volunteer programs give seniors a resource to continue an active life of service to others.
When you donate to CFPA, you’re not just supporting a trail or forest you love. You’re also, in an increasingly isolated society, connecting people to each other, and that can be a lifesaver.
So, thank you for your generosity and for being a part of our mission to bring people closer to nature and to each other.
