A True Park City
Parks are essential to public well being. They serve as spaces for connection, community, and inspiration. That legacy lives on in Bridgeport, proudly known as the Park City. As Connecticut’s largest city, Bridgeport residents are inundated with significant environmental burdens, yet the fabric of the city still carries this green vision.

Earth Month is Here: Let’s Make It Count & Take Action on State Legislation!

Education and Action on Proposed Pipeline Impacting State Parks and the Connecticut River
In case you missed it, catch up on what happened at the community forum on the proposed methane gas pipeline that Eversource wants to build under the Connecticut River. The forum included information and resources about the proposed pipeline and its impacts on our health, climate, local environment, and utility bills.

Take Action: Send a Message to Members of Congress to Cosponsor the Energy Bills Relief Act

It would lower electricity costs, protect against utility shutoffs, and create good-paying clean energy jobs for our communities.

Wilderness Week 2026 – Lobbying Congress to Save our Wild, Public Lands
Right now, America’s public lands are under threat. The Trump Administration and Congress are attempting to strip protections for National Monuments. These and more wilderness areas need to be protected from mining, roads, and development — and Sierra Club members are fighting for that!

Homegrown National Park Presentation with Dr. Doug Tallamy
Imagine taking relatively easy actions in your yard that will meaningfully "restore and protect the natural habitats that support all life." Now imagine that your near neighbors, your whole neighborhood, your whole town, and the neighboring town also take those actions to enlarge and restore native habitats.
