GOSA Video Series
Protecting Land, Water, and Wildlife with Community Engagement
For more than five decades, GOSA has worked to protect the natural landscapes that define Groton and southeastern Connecticut. This four‑part video series tells the story of how a small group of passionate citizens became a trusted conservation organization—and how that work continues today.
Land, Water and Wildlife
Established in 1967, Groton Open Space Association protects and preserves our local forests, streams, and wildlife by acquiring, improving, and maintaining open space properties. These spaces are made available to the community for passive recreation, education, and to foster an appreciation of nature.
Our Properties
We invite you to visit the properties that GOSA has helped protect. All properties are free and open to the public from sunrise to sunset.
