We’re preparing for the next Field of Flags at the National Iwo Jima Memorial in New Britain. Our goal is to place 1,000 flags as a moving tribute to those who served from November 1 through November 15.
Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to creating a truly memorable and meaningful display this year.

Take the Sky's the Limit challenge to get outside for some fresh air and physical exercise. Hike and walk the highlighted locations/trails and take designated photos along the way. Fifteen (15) State Park and Forest locations will be identified for participants to explore, with varying scenery and highlights at each location.
This year, the “Cross Your Trees and Dot Your Skies” theme is a poetic way of embracing the beauty in Connecticut State Parks and Forests - observing the way nature connects everything. Each step on the trail is like connecting the dots, noting how all the small details make up the bigger picture. Whether it’s the first buds on a tree, the songs of birds returning, or the warmth of the sun on one's skin, spring invites us to be present and appreciate the surrounding renewal. By visiting the 15 locations in this year’s challenge and “connecting the dots” on a map, participants will ultimately be forming the shape of the Connecticut State Parks shield sign.
Annually on New Year's Day, January 1 (or another date if determined), names will be randomly drawn from those who visited all fifteen (15) locations, and 50 participants will receive a hand-carved hiking staff made by our DEEP Sawyer who works at our CT DEEP Sawmill or by the CT Woodcarvers Association.
All entries are due by 3 pm on Friday, December 6, 2025.
