Legislator Honor Roll – Adopt a Park
To adopt a park, legislators must take a few actions:
- Acknowledge the State Park or Parks in their district
- Visit the State Parks to understand its needs
- Work with existing Friends of Park organizations or with the CT Department of Energy & Environment to launch an annual event (walk, clean-up, etc. and help advocate for the needs of the state park system.)
