Eastern Connecticut State University Partners with Nonprofit for Ashford Property

The Last Green Valley, a nonprofit organization, has relocated its headquarters to Church Farm, a historic property in Ashford owned by the Eastern Connecticut State University Foundation. The organization entered into a partnership with Eastern Connecticut State University and the ECSU Foundation to facilitate the move. Under the agreement, Eastern Connecticut State University students and faculty will retain access to the property for teaching and scientific research.

The partnership allows Eastern Connecticut State University to utilize the historic property for its biology and environmental earth science programs, which have previously used Church Farm for field research. The Last Green Valley oversees conservation efforts within the federally designated Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor.

Western and Eastern Connecticut State Universities operate within the state of Connecticut.
