Resources to support conservation decisions at multiple scales
Connect the Connecticut outlines a network of priority areas in the Connecticut River watershed for sustaining fish, wildlife, environmental processes, and associated benefits, such as flood protection and recreation. But more than just a map, it offers a set of data and tools that individuals and communities can use to make informed decisions about conservation, planning, and development in the watershed. These resources provide a broader regional context for decisions at any scale, and include supporting data that can help address questions related to land use and management, such as:
- Where do important ecosystems and species habitats occur and overlap?
- Where will climate change and sea level rise place the most stress on the landscape?
- Where is development most likely to occur in the coming decades?
Connect the Connecticut gives you the tools to answer these questions, and many more, as you evaluate conservation and planning opportunities where you live and work.
This is the best starting place for conservation in the Connecticut River watershed.
