What an evening! This year’s Midsummer Party for Conservation brought together friends, neighbors, and supporters for a night of connection, celebration, and commitment to bold land conservation. Hosted at the stunning Maywood estate, generously shared by Leni and Peter May, the gathering was both beautiful and inspiring.

Together, the conservation community honored six decades of protecting the lands that define our region, while also looking forward with purpose—to safeguard our forests, farms, rivers, lakes, and streams for generations to come.

It was a night to remember, and a reminder of what can be achieved when a community comes together around a shared vision for the future. LeRn more how you can get involved: Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy @nwctconservancy
