Lake Mansfield Road Construction Resumes March 18; Pedestrian Walkway Will Temporarily Close

The chorus of Red-winged Blackbird is like a call to Action: It's Just Spring, the world is Mud - Luscious, time to get outside!
But be aware that the ambitious Improvement Construction will be resuming at Lake Mansfield, please read the following PSA from town planner Chris Rembold, and remember to honor closures so that this important work can be completely safely and promptly. 

After a brief winter shutdown, construction work on improvements to the Lake Mansfield area will resume on March 18.

River Walk is there for all. Community members can enjoy a daily or weekly opportunity to connect with the beauty of the Housatonic River and to witness the seasonal changes reflected in the flowing water, trees, wildflowers, and wildlife. These experiences are life enhancing and powerful. 

2023: Kids meet snakes, frogs and salamanders at Lake Mansfield!

July 2023 Lake Mansfield: 

Each year we reach out to Tom Tyning so that kids and their families can gain new insights into the wild array of creatures that are to be found in our ponds, forests, and fields. 

Tom never disappoints and he never comes alone! His fellow travelers may include salamanders, frogs, toads and snakes who are introduced one by one so that every kid (of every age! ) can have a rare opportunity of seeing these remarkable creatures and learning about their life histories.
