Join the Heritage Society
The Heritage Society honors the individuals who care deeply about Connecticut’s forests, parks, and trails. By including the Connecticut Forest & Park Association in your long-term plans, you ensure that these cherished places continue to thrive for future generations.
Your special places are a gift from past generations. These places are their legacy, the trace they left for the future. You and those you love benefit from their generosity every time you walk a trail or enjoy a forest or park. Is it your turn?
To become a member, simply let us know when you’ve named CFPA in your will, trust, as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement plan, or when you establish a life income gift, such as a charitable gift annuity. It’s easier than ever to take positive action today, ensuring that future generations will continue to enjoy the beauty of our forests, parks, and trails.
How to Join
Simple ideas include:
- A bequest in your will or revocable trust
- Naming CFPA as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, such as an IRA, 401(k) or 403(b), donor-advised fund, or other managed account.
