The Willimantic River Alliance was formed in 1996 to celebrate the river and all it has to offer. The mission of the alliance is to protect and preserve the Willimantic River through cooperative and educational activities that promote regional awareness, stewardship, and enjoyment of the river and its watershed. The website is www.willimanticriver.org
Since 2000, Conserving Tolland has been crucial in the conservation of over 1,000 acres by helping to raise $6 million through referenda that enabled the town to purchase land or development rights. We’ve also helped garner over $1.5 million worth of State and Federal grants in the process. In 2006, Conserving Tolland was chosen by Joshua’s Trust as their “Group Conservation” award winner. Landowners like the Campbells, the Shaffrans, the Kings, the Bahlers, the Schindlers, the Schmidts and the Tobiassons and Palmers are the new names added to people, like the Crandall’s, as individuals who have changed the face of Tolland for the better. They’ve made it possible for future generations to know what it’s like to walk in the woods, see deer or turkey, or look across an open field. The website is www.conservingtollandct.org/
