Woodbury, CT
September 2021
New Morning Market is proud to partner with Steep Rock Association (SRA) through their September Round Up for a Cause effort. Steep Rock Association is a nationally-accredited land trust whose mission is to conserve ecologically and historically significant landscapes and riparian corridors in and around Washington, CT and to enhance the community’s connection to nature through outreach, education, and passive recreation. Now more than ever, they are facing insidious threats such as the climate crisis, invasive species, environmental indifference, and development pressure. The need for open space, recreation, and working lands is imperative for sustaining the future and why New Morning Market has partnered with the organization. New Morning Market’s dedication to environmental consideration is one of the cornerstones of their mission and makes the collaboration with SRA, a natural fit.
“We are thrilled with the support of New Morning Market and share their vision of personal wellness, local stewardship, and environmental sustainability,” said Steep Rock’s Executive Director Brian Hagenbuch. “As a nonprofit organization almost entirely dependent on donations, this partnership reflects the importance of supporting a broader community to come together to conserve land, protect endangered species, and offer unique passive recreation opportunities for the general public.”
Steep Rock Association envisions a Washington, CT where conserved lands, healthy ecosystems, and a biologically rich natural world thrive in harmony with a vibrant, engaged, diverse, and supportive community that is ecologically, culturally, and economically sustainable. They’ve protected over 5400 acres of land, have four nature preserves open to the public and nearly 47 miles of recreational trails. As a result, SRA protects and stewards special places for the local community to learn about nature and explore the great outdoors.
