Suzanne Thompson - Saving our Land, Air, and Water Together

Suzanne Thompson works with Save the Sound to protect the Oswegatchie Hills, a coastal forest in East Lyme on the banks of the Niantic River, a tidal estuary of Long Island Sound. One of Save the Sound's successes is The Preserve in Old Saybrook, a 1,000 acre preserve that was rescued from development in 2017, after decades of local grassroots advocacy to protect the land. The mission of Save the Sound is to protect and improve the land, air, and water of the whole Long Island Sound region. Suzanne will explain how the organization uses legal and scientific expertise and brings people together to achieve results that benefit our environment for current and future generations.
