SUMMARY:Support the Park on Fairfield Giving Day
DESCRIPTION:Fairfield County’s Giving Day is our region’s largest annual philanthropic event! Powered by Fairfield County’s Community Foundation\, Giving Day is made possible by thousands of generous people who care. \nIn 2022 giving back to the park where we’ve found solace outdoors through all the months of the pandemic makes sense. Giving to support the wildlife habitat at Sherwood Island State Park is a gift that keeps on giving. \nThis year\, you can choose from two vital Friends projects to support: \n\nGive to the Friends’ Garden Team – The Friends’ Garden Team works year-round to restore dune habitat\, create and curate more pollinator-friendly habitat\, and ensure that new plantings would be natives that improve habitat for birds\, butterflies\, bees\, dragonflies\, turtles\, mammals\, and other wildlife.\nGive to the 100 Trees Campaign – Our 100 Trees Campaign has two long-term projects: to restore the owl habitat in the evergreen grove and to replace trees lost in storms. This year the Trees Campaign plans to increase the owl habitat area four-fold with your help!
