EASTON, CT -- One-hundred-and-fifty Aspetuck Land Trust members turned out for the organization’s Annual Meeting at the Fairfield Museum and History Center on June 21.

The theme of the meeting was “rebooted and refreshed” as the land trust described its plans to create a 17,000 acre Green Corridor through Easton, Fairfield, Westport and Weston.

Aspetuck Land Trust is supported by 1,150 individual members who make annual financial contributions to support its mission to preserve local open space. With federal and state funds for land preservation dwindling, the organization is ramping up its efforts to get the community involved in preserving the last undeveloped open space parcels before they are developed and gone forever.www.aspetucklandtrust.org.

Aspetuck Land Trust preserves open space for public benefit in the towns of Easton, Fairfield, Westport and Weston, and maintains over 1,800 acres of protected land enjoyed by the public.
