The program is designed to nurture a life-long respect for our environment and cultivate a sense of wonder and appreciation for the complexities and interconnections that characterize our planet. The program is a unique model of collaboration involving Connecticut Audubon Society, Eastern Connecticut State University, the University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension System and the Windham County
