The Connecticut River Coastal Conservation District is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the sound use and management of natural resources in our 26-town area.

The District provides technical assistance
and education in:

• soil and water conservation
• erosion and sedimentation control
• stormwater management
• watershed protection

• municipal staff and land use commissioners
• private residents
• agricultural producers
• the public
• the development community

The Connecticut River Watch Program, a citizen monitoring program for the Connecticut River and tributaries, is one of the District's flagship programs.

The District receives financial support from municipal contributions, the Connecticut Fee Bill (Public Act 92-235), an annual native plant sale, state, federal and private grants, and private contributions.
