Connecticut Forest & Park Association
The Connecticut Forest & Park Association was founded in 1895 and is the oldest conservation group in Connecticut today.
Over the past century, CFPA has been instrumental in the acquisition of more than 100 state parks and forest for public use and enjoyment. Today, CFPA continues to champion the needs of these public recreational facilities to assure that agencies responsible for their stewardship receive the funding, personnel and equipment necessary to maintain these natural treasures.
