Partnership - a membership for your organization - is a great way to support the mission of The Last Green Valley, Inc., the 501(c)(3) organization working to spread awareness about our unique National Heritage Corridor. On top of that, partnership comes with many value-added benefits including: a listing in our full-color Explore! adventure guidebook, discounts on advertisements, and promotion in our dynamic online guide. For a full list of benefits, please click here. We offer three levels of partner recognition: Supporting, Sustaining, and Stewarding.

Each year, we distribute 25,000 copies of Explore! to 250+ locations in The Last Green Valley and beyond. With your organization's listing in the guide, you will have exposure to area tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants, festivals, campgrounds, libraries, museums, town halls, retail stores and more across eastern Connecticut and its shoreline, central Massachusetts and Rhode Island - we even distribute to notable locations like Old Sturbridge Village, Roger Williams Zoo, Bass Pro Shops at Patriot Place and state welcome centers in CT & RI.

Explore! features great content to help residents and visitors alike enjoy and appreciate the natural, historic and agricultural resources in The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor. In the guide, you'll find places to explore a wooded trail, snag a locally crafted gift, grab a bite or enjoy a sip, spend the night (in luxury or in a tent!), drop a line in our sparkling rivers, immerse yourself in rich history, and kick back and gaze up at the stars.

And of course, Explore! calls attention to our partners. Your cafe, farm stand, brewery, B&B, museum, gift shop - we want to list you in Explore! to help promote what you do best. Together we can celebrate our region to ensure it is here for generations to come. This is your opportunity to reach tens of thousands of residents and visitors each year!
