On October 3, more than 200 friends and neighbors joined us at Milde Farm in Litchfield for NCLC’s Annual Picnic. It was a wonderful afternoon, with bluegrass music from Sweetcake Mountain (pictured), fresh pizza, children enjoying face painting, and kites flying over the freshly hayed fields. It was especially joyful to see so many people enjoying Milde Farm as we work toward opening this beautiful property to the public. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the volunteers and sponsors who made the day possible.
The picnic offered a glimpse of what we hope Milde Farm will become: a place where people can enjoy the outdoors and spend time together. Creating these opportunities is an important part of our conservation work, and one that depends on the support and involvement of our community.
In this month’s newsletter, you’ll find several ways to connect with and support our work, including three opportunities to join the NCLC team, a suggested fall hike in New Fairfield, and a supporter’s perspective on the importance of monthly giving.
I also hope you will join us for our Annual Meeting on Saturday, November 14, at the Litchfield Community Center. We will reflect on what we have accomplished together this year and share some of the exciting work ahead. I would be delighted to see you there and thank you in person for your support in protecting Northwest Connecticut.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
With gratitude,
