Protecting the pumpkin patch
|
Fall for families in Windsor, Connecticut, means a visit to Brown’s Harvest for apple cider donuts, hayrides through the corn maze, and picking the perfect pumpkin. In 2019, The Trust for Public Land led a coalition securing the agricultural conservation easement that permanently preserves 100 acres of the Brown family farm for the community to visit and enjoy for generations to come.

Opening doors to the outdoors in Georgia

That’s why we’re collaborating with communities to create quality parks and realize our vision for the Chattahoochee RiverLands.

|
