The Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA) protects forests, parks and the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails for future generations by connecting people to the land. Founded in 1895, CFPA was the first conservation organization established in Connecticut.
CFPA directly involves individuals and families, educators, community leaders, and volunteers to enhance and defend Connecticut’s rich natural heritage. CFPA is a private, non-profit organization that relies on members and supporters to carry out its mission.
CFPA is the managing organization for the Connecticut portion of the New England National Scenic Trail.
