Upcoming Events

Harbor Park Clean-up
Saturday, April 24, 9:00 a.m. (rain date May 1st)

Join community volunteers and celebrate Earth Day as we spring clean the northern end of Harbor Park, known as Lions Landing. Last year's efforts to reclaim this area from thick overgrowth opened a beautiful view of the river that is being enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. But more work needs to be done. Wear long sleeves and pants; bring a rake, clippers, pruning saw, or loppers to help clear the leaves and vines. We'll finish our work day at 1:00 p.m. with a barbeque.

 

 

Educational Paddle
Saturday, June 5, starting at 9 a.m.
On the Mattabesset Canoe/Kayak Trail as part of Connecticut Forest and Park Association’s Connecticut Trails Day.

The trip will start and end at Harbor Park in Middletown, and will take 3-4 hours. Paddlers must provide their own boats and lifejackets. Bring water, sunscreen, and snack.

A naturalist will be with us to explain the ecology and significance of the boggy meadows and to identify the plants and animals of this precious and unusual freshwater, tidal wetland.
