Sec. 23-5a. Natural area preserves. Declaration of policy. Connecticut is a state
of relatively small area, undergoing rapid industrialization and rapid diminution of areas
remaining in their natural condition. It is, therefore, declared to be the public policy
that carefully selected areas of land and water of outstanding scientific, educational,
biological, geological, paleontological or scenic value be preserved. In implementation
of this policy, there is established a Connecticut system of natural area preserves.
(1969, P.A. 727, S. 1; P.A. 91-65, S. 1.)
History: P.A. 91-65 rephrased the policy declaration to include reference to "biological, geological, paleontological or
scenic value".
