The Quonochontaug Conservation Collaborative (QCC) is a welcoming group of volunteers from across Quonnie’s communities, devoted to raising awareness of the natural wonders and resources Quonnie enjoys. We are focused on circulating conservation-related information and holding educational events to bring the Quonnie community together. We welcome anyone who is interested in learning, participating, or being more involved in any of QCC’s committees and their respective activities. Please let us know if you’d like any more information.
