Worthen House - Enders State Forest, 60 Fox Road, Granby, CT The house is a cape, built circa 1783 with large additions to its north and east elevations. A terraced patio, with built-in stone barbeque sits to the east of the house. The house is the only one on the forest road and is very private and quiet. The property also includes a garage/guest house with seasonal living spaces on the second floor. The property is located in Enders State Forest, which preserves land in Barkhamsted and Granby. The central feature of Enders State Forest is a beautiful series of waterfalls off Route 219, approximately 2 miles from the Worthen House. The house is approximately 3,500 square feet. The interior is finished with plaster walls, hardwood floors, and built-in cabinetry. There are fireplaces in the two front parlors and in the family room. On the first floor are two parlors, a living room, a family room, a kitchen, and a full bathroom. On the second floor are four bedrooms, a full bathroom, and access to the attic. The basement has a poured concrete floor and stone-lined walls. It houses the forced hot air furnace and an oil tank. The house has a septic system and a drilled well. To the west of the house is a garage/guest house. The guest house has three seasonal bed-rooms and a large living space. 2. Forster House - Forster Pond State Park, 395 North Branford Road, Killingworth, CT Between 1927 and 1946, architect Frank J. Forster (1886-1948) and his wife purchased nearly 100 acres of land in Killingworth where he could practice his craft. Known mostly for his large estates in the French and English country style, here, Forster focused on American vernacular styles. He recycled architectural elements from other historic homes throughout New England to create five unique homes at his Connecticut estate. The homes are clustered around a beautiful man-made pond fed by Schreeder Brook. The pond is also fed by a small stream with multiple waterfalls that runs just to the north of the house. The Forster House sits directly on Forster Pond, offering lovely views of the large pond to the west and woodland acres to the east. The property was sold to the State of CT by Forster’s widow in 1963. Forster Pond State Park is an undeveloped park, leaving the area around the house quiet and secluded. The property includes a Greek-Revival farmhouse with additions to the north and south, an attached two- bay garage, 2 sheds/workshops, and a well house. The property is located in Forster Pond State Park and is located directly south of the entrance to Chatfield Hollow State Park. The house is approximately 3,245 square feet with an attached 208 square feet screened porch. The main portion of the structure was built circa 1840s. It was moved to the site and additions were made to it in the 1930s and 1940s, by architect Frank Forster. The older portion of the house is a Greek-Revival Cape the additions follow the rustic style of the original house. On the first floor are a modern kitchen, dining room, parlor, living room, family room, office, a half-bathroom, and a screened porch.

  • Connecticut State Parks System
    A Centennial Overview 1913-2013 www.ct.gov/deep/stateparks A State Park Centennial Message from Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Robert J. Klee Dear Friends, This year, we are celebrating the Centennial of the Connecticut State Parks system. Marking the 100th anniversary of our parks is a fitting way to pay tribute to past conservation-minded leaders of our state, who had the foresight to begin setting aside important and scenic lands for public access and enjoyment. It is also a perfect moment to commit ourselves to the future of our park system – and to providing first-class outdoor recreation opportunities for our residents and visitors well into the future. Our park system had humble beginnings. A six-member State Park Commission was formed by then Governor Simeon Baldwin in 1913. One year later the Commission purchased its first land, about four acres in Westport for what would become Sherwood Island State Park. Today, thanks to the dedication and commitment of many who have worked in the state park system over the last century, Connecticut boasts a park system of which we can all be proud. This system includes 107 locations, meaning there is a park close to home no matter where you live. Our parks cover more than 32,500 acres and now host more than eight million visitors a year – and have hosted a remarkable total of more than 450 million visitors since we first began counting in 1919. Looking beyond the statistics, our parks offer fantastic opportunities for families to spend time outdoors together. They feature swimming, boating, hiking, picnicking, camping, fishing – or simply the chance to enjoy the world of nature.

  • Documenting and Protecting New England's Old-Growth Forests
    Documenting and Protecting New England’s Old-Growth Forests Written By: Jack Ruddat Documenting and Protecting New England’s Old-Growth Forests An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science by Jack Ruddat Date: May 13, 2020 Report Submitted to: Dr. Uma Kumar and Dr. Ingrid Shockey Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects Abstract Old-growth forests in New England have become exceedingly rare over the centuries but contribute greatly to biodiversity, ecological stability, and scientific knowledge. Many of these remaining forests are either unrecognized or lack protection from development. The goal of this project was to promote the preservation and appreciation for old-growth forests in New England. The state of Connecticut was chosen for mapping and documenting remaining standing old- growth forests, understanding stakeholders’ positions and preservation practices, and identifying suitability for public visitation. i Executive Summary Executive Summary Old-growth forests in the United States can be identified as areas of land that have been continuously forested since before the early to mid-1800’s (Jönsson, Fraver, & Jonsson, 2009; Kershner & Leverett, 2004). They have become exceedingly rare over the centuries but contribute greatly to biodiversity and ecological stability (MacKinnon, 1998). Furthermore, they are laboratories for scientific knowledge regarding forest succession and development, plant relationships, and nutrient cycling (David et al., 1996).

  • Alcohol Use in State Parks and Forests
    Alcohol Use in State Parks and Forests By: Kristen Miller, Senior Legislative Attorney August 29, 2018 | 2018-R-0133 Issue Are alcoholic beverages allowed in Connecticut state parks and forests? Summary Alcoholic beverages are allowed in many state parks and forests, but not on beaches, boardwalks, or other posted locations. The authority to ban alcoholic beverages at these locations derives from a state law that authorizes the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) commissioner to ban possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages on lands under his control, which includes parks and forests (CGS § 23-4). State regulations also allow the commissioner to institute a temporary ban for a specific area to protect public safety. Alcohol possession and consumption is currently banned at 23 state park or forest areas, which include three parks with temporary bans. For areas where alcohol use is allowed, there are specific restrictions such as beer may not be in containers greater than one liter. Failing to abide by the state’s state park alcohol use requirements is an infraction, punishable by a $75 fine. Parks and Forests with Alcohol Bans The commissioner prohibits alcohol use at state parks and forests, including campgrounds, primarily through regulations. Current regulations prohibit alcohol use at the following 20 parks and forests: 1. Bigelow Hollow State Park; 2. Black Rock State Park and campground; www.cga.ct.gov/olr Connecticut General Assembly (860) 240-8400 [email protected] Office of Legislative Research Room 5300 Stephanie A.
