College of the Environment think tank’s editorial on Connecticut’s Eco-recreation Economy

The two-year, $27 million marketing initiative will promote tourism throughout Connecticut including ecologically fragile locations along the banks of the Connecticut River that support key recreation-based industries like fishing, boating, bird-watching, and hunting. Wesleyan’s College of the Environment think tank reports.
