The Face of Connecticut Steering Committee consists of 12 members from across the State who will review and allocate funds for the preservation of the “Face’ of our State. The funding will be allocated for the preservation of farmland , natural lands, historic preservation , responsible growth and urban lands.

Roseann Gottier is a former Joshua Trust Board Member, founder of Conserving Tolland, and currently serves the Trust on our Land Acquisition Committee.

Bryan Hurlburt sponsored the 2008 legislation that created the Face of Connecticut Steering Committee.

Bryan Hurlburt:

"Conserving Tolland has been a leader in advocating for the planning and acquisition of open space in Tolland and has made this a priority for the community and me, first as a Town Councilor and now as State Representative of Ashford, Willington and Tolland.

As the sponsor of the Face of Connecticut legislation, it was with Conserving Tolland’s leadership and steward-ship in mind. We have Roseann to thank for leading that charge. Her background, passion, and advocacy will serve the State well on the Face of Connecticut Committee.

It was an honor to recommend her and I am proud of her appointment. It speaks volumes of her and Conserving Tolland's leadership."
