NVCOG staff attended the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center Earth Day Celebration this past weekend. We had the opportunity to interact with residents and local environmental organizations. It was a perfect day to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of our Earth. Congratulations to the Ansonia Nature Center for hosting such a fantastic event!
