The public is invited to join Commissioner Esty, Naugatuck Valley Audubon Society and Audubon CT for these events – and there will be an opportunity to speak with him about energy and environmental issues of interest.
- 10:30 a.m — Speaking Ceremony and Q & A by Commissioner Esty
- 10:50 a.m. — Presentation by Naugatuck Valley Audubon Society
- 11:00 a.m. — Building a Bluebird Nest Box with Mike Amodeo

Commissioner Esty said, “Naugatuck Valley Audubon Society and Audubon CT are great partners who work hard to conserve Connecticut’s natural resources and provide sound habitat areas for birds and other wildlife for the enjoyment of outdoor enthusiasts.”
“The ‘Commissioner in Your Corner’ events are designed to highlight the tremendous natural resources our state enjoys and also make certain that I am available to meet and hear from the public.
The ‘Commissioner in Your Corner’ initiative is a way to accomplish both these goals – to visit and tour a tremendous outdoor location – such as the Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby and while there, to talk with residents about energy and environmental issues,” added Esty.
