Goodwin Forest Conservation
Education Center

Hampton, Connecticut

{Photo of Goodwin Conservation Center} The Goodwin Conservation Center 
was a gift to the 
people of Connecticut
 from James L. Goodwin,
 to be used for 
education about "general, wildlife,
 and forest conservation."
Goodwin Conservation Center

The Goodwin Conservation Center is an environmental education facility owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. Currently there is a public/private partnership with the Connecticut Forest and Park Association.  Together we offer programs for the public, schools, and educators, and those who use and impact Connecticut's forests, including landowners, foresters, loggers and municipal land use commissioners.  

The Goodwin Conservation Center is located in the James L. Goodwin State Forest, a beautiful 2,000-acre property with an extensive trail system.   In addition, there is a butterfly garden, a seasonal museum, the lovely Pine Acres Pond and youth group campsites.
