On Saturday, June 16 at 4pm, Executive Director John Anderson will give a Sandy Brook Conservation Corridor Project presentation,
Protecting water quality and wildlife through forest and wetland conservation: What Can Doolittle Do? Doolittle Woods, which lies within the boundaries of the Sandy Brook watershed, is a forested area with lakes and wetlands that was created in 1929 as a place for residents within the woods to hunt and fish. While it remains largely forested, there have been recent concerns about declining water quality, invasive fish species which may be responsible for the decline of native trout, and the advance of non-native, invasive plants. Aton Forest will lead a conversation about what Doolittle residents can do within the context of ensuring the future health of the Sandy Brook watershed.
Location: The Doolittle Clubhouse, 528 Doolittle Drive, Norfolk CT 06058. Refreshments will be served. This talk is free and open to the public. For more information, call (860) 542-5125 or email contact@atonforest.org.
