Our 2026 Spring into Summer Celebration, sponsored by Earth Forward Group, will be held at the Hill-Stead Museum, 35 Mountain Road, Farmington, on June 11 from 4 to 7 p.m.

Join us for a landmark evening as we celebrate the communities and leaders shaping a more resilient future for Connecticut. As our nation prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary, we gather to reflect on our state's past, celebrate our shared progress, and honor the visionary work making history today.

Hill-Stead is a National Historic Landmark. The Colonial Revival estate was designed by Theodate Pope Riddle, one of America's first female architects. The museum’s impressive collection includes original furnishings and decorative arts, paintings by Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, James M. Whistler and Mary Cassatt, as well as numerous works on paper and Japanese woodblock prints, sculpture, and more. Its sunken gardens and historic grounds provide the perfect backdrop for a celebration of heritage and innovation. Come early to visit the Hill-Stead Museum's first floor including Impressionist paintings, displayed within the original, in-situ domestic interiors of the 1901 historic house - open for a self-guided tour from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

We'll be honoring our spring certified communities, some of our favorite friends and partners will be tabling, and we'll introduce our newest cohort of Sustainable CT Fellows. We'll have music and light fare, of course, and all of your Sustainable CT friends will be there. 

Together, we aren't just reflecting on history - we're creating it. So, please do REGISTER TODAY because space is limited. Your hard work and continuing support are of vital importance to us, so we hope to see you on June 11!

Thank you to our generous sponsors Earth Forward Group, Liberty Bank, Capital for Change, Clean Transportation Communities of Southern Connecticut, Titan Energy, Casella, All American Waste, and Connecticut Water Company.
 

Stream Smart is a training program and resource for anyone interested in planning, designing, or constructing road-stream crossings. First launched in 2011 through Maine Audubon, Stream Smart has been implemented in many states across the Northeast. The goal of Stream Smart is to connect fish and wildlife habitat while protecting roads and public safety, and to prepare for the large and frequent storm events that have been washing out roads throughout the Northeast. These full-day trainings will consist of lectures, a stream-table demonstration of how Stream Smart crossings work, and an optional field site visit to look at example crossings.
