Each month Members of The Last Green Valley are invited to participate in a program or activity organized and offered only for our members. Some programs are free of charge and others require a registration fee.
Programs are listed in each quarterly Newsletter, and we send e-mail reminders to TLGV members prior to each monthly program. Over the past two years we have enjoyed behind the scene tours of area museums, craft shops, farms and greenhouses, tasty learning experiences at an area restaurant and a local maple sugar house, river paddles, town green tours and downtown architecture tours, as well as hikes and explorations.
To learn more about up-coming programs, or if you have suggestions for future programs, please contact Bill Reid, Director of External Affairs, at 860-774-3300 or email bill@tlgv.org.
