Be a BTNF Friend
A forest the size of the state of Connecticut can’t have too many friends or support. Whether you want to make a financial or in-kind donation, join our Ambassadors for Responsible Recreation Program, get involved with a volunteer day, learn about how you can help us spread our message of responsible recreation, or be a BFF of the BTNF on social media, we’d love to have you. If all you’ve got time for right now is a follow on social media we’ll take that, too!
You can make a difference.
