Emergency Burn Ban In Effect 10/26/24 - An emergency burn ban is now in effect for all Connecticut State Parks, Forests, and Wildlife Management areas, prohibiting the use of all outdoor grills, firepits, and campfires, and the kindling and use of flame outdoors. DEEP and local agencies are working to contain several active fires across the state. Please avoid all affected State Parks and Forests, as well as the blue-blazed Mattabesett Trail. The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and portions of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are closed at this time. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at an 'extreme' level. More information about the current fire danger, burn ban and recommended safety measures can be found here

NOTE: The three paths to receiving a Voucher+ award represented in the data above— (1) EJ Community/Distressed Municipality, (2) Income Qualification, and (3) Public Assistance Program—are not mutually exclusive. For example, an applicant for a Voucher+ award might have met the criteria for two or even three of the categories—they could (1) live in an environmental justice community, (2) while also having a household income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level, and (3) participate in state and federal assistance programs. Therefore, the data in that table should not be read to mean that only 5 approved applicants had household income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level or that only 92 approved applicants received public assistance. Demonstrating that one lived in an EJ community required the least paperwork, which could help explain why there were 371 approved vouchers in that category. Those three categories were mandated by Connecticut General Statutes 22a-202(e), the provision authorizing this eBike program.
