The Preserve

The Preserve is a protected area in Connecticut featuring wetlands, forests, and grasslands across its grounds. These varied habitats support a wide range of plant and animal species.

This protected area was established through conservation efforts to prevent natural landscapes from disappearing under urban growth. The initiative began as local communities recognized the need to safeguard these ecosystems.

Educational programs at The Preserve connect students with nature through field studies, creating opportunities for hands-on learning about ecological systems.

Marked trails wind through the grounds for hiking and watching wildlife in their natural setting. Following the site guidelines helps protect the area and ensures a positive experience for all visitors.

Scientists continuously monitor environmental changes within the grounds to track how local ecosystems respond to climate shifts. This ongoing research provides valuable insights into how natural systems adapt to changing conditions.
