The NFA is dedicated to accumulating and preserving open space and natural resources for public enjoyment within the Town of Newtown, Connecticut and to help maintain our the rural character of our community.
About the nfa 2014
The Newtown Forest Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit land trust dedicated to preserving open space and natural resources in Newtown, Connecticut. It owns over 1,000 acres across 108 parcels to maintain the rural character of the community. The NFA is independent of the town and relies on donations, grants, and membership fees to manage the land, which includes activities like trail maintenance, invasive species removal, and property stewardship. Its goal is to facilitate open space preservation in Newtown through land acquisition, community advocacy, and environmental education.
About the nfa 2014 - history
The NFA owns over 1,000 acres of land in Newtown, CT, consisting of 70 separate nature preserves acquired through donations over the past 100 years. The NFA began in 1924 as the Newtown Forester's Association, founded to protect the 15.5-acre Town Forest, believed to be the first official town forest in the US. Through donations of land and funding, the NFA grew slowly over the decades. A major donation in 1997 from Josephine Holcombe of 86 acres and an endowment allowed the NFA to expand significantly. Today the NFA continues to acquire and protect land to preserve open space for the Newtown community.
Noisette Community
The Noisette Project was launched in 2001 to revitalize a 3,000-acre area of North Charleston, SC following the closure of the Charleston Naval Base in 1996. A public-private partnership between the Noisette Company and the City developed a master plan focused on environmental, social, and economic principles. Over a decade, intense collaboration and $500 million in investments have resulted in new schools and affordable housing, infrastructure improvements, and a riverfront park being constructed to improve life for residents.
Presentation by Frida Arounsavath, Researcher, Swedwatch
This document discusses two groups that are marginalized as a result of corporate actions: indigenous communities affected by a BHP Billiton coal mine in Indonesia and civilians impacted by Lundin's oil prospecting in Sudan. It provides examples of how these companies denied communities access to land and resources and failed to consult them, displaced people, and enabled violence without providing remedy. The document calls for investors to strengthen financial institutions by adopting new values and priorities around human rights, conducting thorough impact assessments, increasing transparency, and acting decisively to pressure companies to provide remedy and compensation.

Addressing the challenges – planning for people at the coast - Rob Young, Nor...NAAONB landscapesforlife
This document discusses the challenges facing coastal communities from erosion and sea level rise. It notes that decades of coastal defense policies and development have made issues worse by ignoring coastal change processes. The 2009 Coastal Change Pathfinder project aims to trial new ways for communities to adapt to coastal change, such as relocating threatened housing and facilities inland to establish buffer zones. The document emphasizes that coastal change cannot be ignored and must be managed through cooperation between communities and local authorities.Libya

Response to colonialism
Colonialism in Canada involved the exploitation of First Nations peoples and their lands through a series of policies and acts. The Indian Act of 1876 gave the government control over First Nations communities and attempted to assimilate indigenous cultures. Over time, diseases, loss of land, and the residential school system severely damaged First Nations populations and cultures. Modern responses from First Nations involve efforts to regain autonomy and protect their rights and traditions.

US national parks
National parks have existed in the United States since 1872 when Yellowstone National Park was established. There are now over 400 national park system properties across the country totaling over 84 million acres. In 2016, these parks received over 281 million visitors and had significant positive economic impacts on surrounding communities, generating over $18 billion in local revenue and over 300,000 jobs. However, the future of some national parks is uncertain as the Trump administration has ordered a review of national monuments designated since 1996 with the goal of potentially reducing some of their sizes and protections.
Final ct power point
Connecticut was one of the original 13 colonies and became a state on January 9, 1788. It was first inhabited by Native American tribes and later settled by colonists from Massachusetts seeking religious freedom. The colony grew as more settlers purchased land from the Native Americans and established permanent settlements along the Connecticut River. Religion played a major role in colonial Connecticut society, with the Puritan faith initially being the only legal religion. The economy relied on agriculture, fishing, and industries like shipbuilding and fur trading.

In the 1930s, he led efforts to remove squatters who had built summer homes on state-owned islands. Through legal challenges and public advocacy, Apperson worked to expand state lands and uphold the "forever wild" clause of the NY constitution. He was a tireless defender of the Adirondacks who established several conservation organizations.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

- 1. History of the NFAHistory of the NFA
- 2. WHERE WE ARE NOWWHERE WE ARE NOW Newtown largest private landowner The NFA owns 1,076 Acres This is from 108± individual parcels Clustered, create 70 separate preserves Several abut Town or State open space Most acquired by donations Most are deed restricted NFA also preserves 91 Acres under Conservation Easements
- 3. CT’s Oldest Private Land TrustCT’s Oldest Private Land Trust The Town Forest, less than a mile from the Flagpole, was the first preserve created in 1924 by a group who contributed three parcels into a neighborhood trust referred to as the Newtown Forester’s Association. Dr. Howard Peck presented the initial of 7.2 acres of land. Additional abutting lands were subsequently added from other concerned citizens including Cornelia Hawley, Charles Peck, Henry Young and Emmet & Gladys Close to form what is now known as the 15.5-acre "Town Forest". This is believed to be the first known official Town Forest in the United States of America.
- 4. HistoryHistory (from a 1965 report by Tom Cheney)(from a 1965 report by Tom Cheney) Records show the Association was formed in 1923 and collected dues of $1 from several individuals annually through 1927. The absence of records infer a period of dormancy through 1937 when Paul Cullens and Paul Smith convened a meeting to reorganize the Association. In 1939, the Newtown Forest Association was legally incorporated and the 3 parcels making up the Town Forest were contributed. In 1940 the NFA obtained its determination letter that it was tax exempt and a charitable organization.

- 6. History (continued)History (continued) The NFA remained relatively dormant again until 1955 when Paul Cullens, Paul Smith and others amended the NFA Charter and By-Laws. In 1959 the NFA purchased 8 acres abutting The Town Forest for $5,000, funded by a donation from Henry Schnakenberg. Henry was a board member from 1961-1968 and in 1970 donated 7 acres to the NFA. Through 1997 the NFA operated on a shoe string budget and had very little operating costs as most of the property owned was taken care of by volunteer neighbors or was forested land that required minimal tending.
- 7. History (Cont.)History (Cont.) Josephine Holcombe passed in 1997 and willed to the NFA 86 Acres, known has Holcombe Hill at 55/65 Great Hill Road, plus an endowment. The NFA had a long relationship with the Holcombe’s, having benefited from donations in 1966 and 1987 of 14 and 62 acres, respectively, along Birch Hill Road. • The NFA uses the earnings to maintain the Holcombe Preserves as well as our other properties.

Flanked by two long wings, a center section 110-feet long featured a drive-through carriageway. When Ronald died in 1905, he left the castle to his mistress, but not the means to maintain it. Building deteriorated and was finally demolished in 1947.
