Recreational Access: No trails established

These two parcels were New Fairfield Land Trust’s first land holdings.   The two parcels are abutting and were acquired by the Town as permanent open space from two different subdivisions.   The larger parcel is the wide wetland visible on Route 39 directly across from Milltown Road .   The land is quite wet and has been known to be the habitat for beavers, fox, deer, and many species of birds.   The 5+-acre parcel is sloping forestland above the swamp accessed from the cul-de-sac on Autumn Ridge Road , which is where we may create a minor trail loop in the future.
