Land Acquisition
One of Connecticut’s preeminent land trusts, Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust is a leader in the region in the preservation of open space and the protection of natural resources. Flanders has developed a strategy for land acquisition and conservation, focusing on three land categories:
> Properties that link to form “green belts” of undisturbed land,
supporting wildlife habitats
> Farmlands to preserve and protect local agriculture
> Tracts along rivers, streams and forestlands to protect the
water supply
Flanders has also been instrumental in working closely with the Town of Woodbury to shape its open space priorities.
