The Alice and David Crosby Environmental Scholarship was established in 1997 in memory of Alice C. Crosby, who was for many years Chairman of the Clinton Board of Education. Subsequently, Alice's husband, David Crosby, a former CLCT Board member and graduate of the Yale School of Forestry, was added to the name of the scholarship. Alice and David Crosby became members of the Clinton Land Conservation Trust in its early days and remained active in its programs and projects throughout the rest of their lives. The scholarship is a $1,000 grant awarded each year to a Clinton graduating senior planning to pursue an education in a field related to the study of or preservation of the environment. .

ECOLOGY CAMP 2017
Dana Skidmore and her Counselors spent one week with over 50 campers during 2017's Ecology Camp. The weather cooperated all week and the campers enjoyed exploring the Clinton Town Beach and woodland habitats. We hiked the red trail, yellow trail and parts of the blue trail at Peter’s Woods, we explored the vernal pool there, the campers found green frogs, bull frogs, wood frogs, juvenile salamanders, juvenile red spotted newts and lots of dragonfly larva. We even spotted a garter snake sunning itself. While hiking, the campers identified different tree species, mountain laurel, poison ivy and woodland bird calls.
Ecology Campers explored the low tide at the Town Beach. They have been taught that many crabs take shelter under logs, rocks and seaweed and they were gently searching under these things to see what they can find. Environmental skits as well as environmental running games (King Crab) were played each day and lots of fun was had by all read more...
