Approaching its 90th year as Newtown’s private land trust, the Newtown Forest Association (NFA) is seeking volunteers for an anniversary committee.

In an email appeal sent to supporters, the NFA asked for assistance and volunteers to “help the [NFA Board of Trustees] celebrate the 90th anniversary." Hoping to plan a celebratory event, members envision a presentation, guest speaker, food, silent auction, and more commemorate “all the NFA has done” in the last 90 years. The NFA is Connecticut’s oldest private land trust.

A meeting for prospective volunteers is scheduled for May 22 at 7 pm at Dr Aaron Coopersmith’s office, 54 South Main Street, The Newtown Chiropractic Health Center. Dates for future meetings will be set at that time. Contact AaronCoop@gmail.com to attend or inquire about volunteering.
