Connecticut Coastal Birding Trail Site Nomination Form
Your opinion is important to the success of the Connecticut Coastal Birding
Trail. If you know of a good location to see birds, please complete the following
nomination form. The information will be submitted to a team of trained assessors,
who will then visit and evaluate the site
based on key criteria. To prevent duplication of effort, you can check
here to see whether the site has already been nominated.
By completing the following Nomination Form through this webpage, you will
greatly assist in the speed of the site selection process, because the information
will not have to be re-entered by our unpaid volunteers. If for some reason you
are unable to submit this Nomination Form electronically, please download
a PDF version of the form.
