The Steep Rock Association is one of the oldest land trusts in the state of Connecticut. In May of 2008, Steep Rock’s Board of Trustees completed a 10 Year Strategic Plan and formally adopted the following mission statement:
The Steep Rock Mission
To accept and acquire land in fee and to hold conservation easements in the Town of Washington and adjacent towns for conservation, educational and recreational purposes. We will protect, preserve, manage and improve this land as wildlife sanctuaries or nature conservancies, and encourage the appreciation and enjoyment of this land by the residents of Washington and surrounding areas.
Today Steep Rock owns more than 2,426 acres of land and holds over 2,348 acres protected with conservation easements, a total of over 4,774 acres of preserved land. It is a member-supported, non-profit tax exempt (501 (c) 3) organization.
