YOUR LEGACY
Even tur classi tles watch c mov ies!
There’s no place like (our) home. Filled with beautiful rocks, trees, rivers, and streams. I love being able to say Connecticut forests are my home. You too, I hope. And there’s nothing else quite like it. It’s also the homes of salamanders, flying squirrels, bats,... my friends and neighbors. I cannot thank CFPA volunteers enough for their help. Connecticut could not–would not–have the lovely green forests we call home without volunteers. Every day volunteers advocate, teach, build trails, and protect our forests. That’s why I’m so grateful when you support my friends at CFPA. Your support helps get more volunteers out there doing good! One of CFPA’s dynamic trail volunteer wife and husband teams is Harry and Weezie Perrine. The Perrines’ efforts epitomize all that is good about our trail volunteers. Can you believe they have been managing the northern Shenipsit Trail for 30 years?! That is six flying squirrel generations! (CONTINUED on page 2...)
