Legislator Honor Roll – Adopt a Park

FCSP and CFPA have challenged legislators to adopt their local state parks and get more directly involved.

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.)
