Menunkatuck Audubon: 2026 Legislative Policy Priorities
This year, the Connecticut State Legislature is meeting in a “short session.” Audubon is advocating for several pieces of legislation to protect birds and their habitats. These include efforts regarding:
Regulating neonicotinoids for non-agricultural use
Classify second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides as restricted-use pesticides
Expanding nature-based solutions
Protecting vulnerable communities from climate change by supporting urban forestry and community interest in tree planting and maintenance, parks, and/or community gardens in densely populated areas
Join us as we host Robert LaFrance, Director of Policy for Audubon Connecticut, for a discussion on these and other legislative initiatives and learn what you can do to help get them passed. Before joining Audubon, Rob had a long career with DEEP as its legislative liaison and brings extensive relationships with legislators to Audubon.
