Explore "The Connecticut River: Past, Present and Future" with The Garden Club of Hartford and The Nature Conservancy

Flowing 410 miles from the northernmost reaches of New Hampshire to the Long Island Sound, the Connecticut River is New England’s longest river. It has deep cultural, economic and ecological significance for the region and for the city of Hartford, which has grown up along its banks.

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, The Garden Club of Hartford invites the public to learn more about this natural treasure from Kim Lutz, Connecticut River Program director for The Nature Conservancy, in an hour-long event titled “The Connecticut River: Past, Present and Future."

The event, which will include a talk by Lutz and question-and-answer session, will be held at Hartford Public Library at 500 Main St., Hartford. It is scheduled to run from 12:45 p.m.-1:45 p.m.
