The Last Green Valley

The Last Green Valley is two things - it's the 35-town National Heritage Corridor in eastern Connecticut and south-central Massachusetts, and it’s also your member-supported, non-profit stewardship organization working for you in the National Heritage Corridor.

The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor is green by day and dark by night, a place with a rich history in a surprisingly rural landscape. With 84% forest and farm, the Corridor is the last swath of dark night sky in the coastal sprawl between Boston and Washington, D.C.

The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization established in 1995.
