Komlo Preserve

New Fairfield/Route 37

Location: 130 CT-37
Donor: Joseph Komlo, 9/28/2004
Size: 26 acres
Dominant Habitat: Meadows, forested wetlands, man-made pond
Hydrologic Character: Wetland

An idyllic setting with open meadows, wildlife sanctuary, forested wetlands, a man made pond and situated right in the center of town. This donation came from Joseph Komlo as the Open Space for the Dunham Pond Condominiums. The pond, which was made when gravel was mined for the building of Route 37, is home to a wide array of wildlife. Beavers, ducks and geese all rely on this habitat. There is also a sizable heronry right at the edge of the forest. This property is the southern end of the Shortwoods Brook Aquifer. We hope to create a greenway all the way to its northern point on Beaver Bog Road.
