Environment: Protecting Nature. Strengthening Communities. Preserving the Future.

Across Connecticut, Lions are committed to protecting the environment and preserving the natural spaces that make our communities healthy, beautiful, and sustainable. Through hands-on service, education, and partnerships, Lions clubs in Districts 23A, 23B, and 23C take action to care for the land, water, and public spaces we all share.

Environmental service allows Lions to make an immediate, visible impact — improving quality of life today while protecting resources for future generations.

Community Cleanups: Caring for the Places We Live

Connecticut Lions regularly organize and participate in community cleanups throughout the year, including parks, trails, rivers, shorelines, and roadside areas.

These efforts include:

• Park, trail, and greenway cleanups

• Roadside and neighborhood litter removal

• River, lake, and shoreline cleanups

• Beautification of town centers and public spaces

By working side by side with residents, schools, and local organizations, Lions help create cleaner, safer, and more welcoming communities.

Earth Day & Environmental Awareness Events

Many Lions clubs participate in Earth Day activities and environmental awareness events, using these opportunities to promote stewardship and responsible environmental practices.

Lions support environmental education by:

• Hosting or participating in Earth Day cleanups

• Sharing information on recycling and waste reduction

• Partnering with schools, scouts, and youth groups

• Encouraging community involvement in conservation efforts

These events help raise awareness while inspiring people of all ages to take pride in caring for their environment.

Tree Planting, Pollinators & Habitat Support

Connecticut Lions also focus on long-term environmental health through projects that support ecosystems and biodiversity.

These initiatives include:

• Tree planting projects in parks and public spaces

• Pollinator gardens to support bees and wildlife

• Restoration of natural habitats and green spaces

• Maintenance of walking trails and conservation areas

These efforts improve air and water quality, enhance wildlife habitats, and provide lasting benefits to local communities.

Partnerships That Multiply Impact

Lions understand that environmental challenges require collaboration. Across the districts, clubs partner with:

• Municipal departments

• Conservation and land trust organizations

• Schools and youth groups

• Community volunteers

By combining resources and volunteer power, Lions amplify their impact and ensure projects are sustainable and meaningful.
