Coming Full Circle: The CT Yankee Conservation Project

Come hear about efforts to conserve one of our region's most extraordinary natural resources-- the site of a former nuclear power plant.

One year after Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company requested "Expressions of Interest" for its 582 -acre former power plant site in Haddam, the Connecticut Yankee Conservation Project formed to work with the conservation community and Connecticut Yankee in reaching an agreement to conserve the property. The area comprises over 3 miles of river frontage on both the Salmon and Connecticut rivers, and numerous noteworthy historic and archeological sites. With the recently decommissioned and completely dismantled nuclear power plant gone from its 30- acre location along the Connecticut River, a rare opportunity now exists to protect this magnificent property for long term public benefit. CYCP representatives will join us to give an overview of their goals and talk about their progress to date .
