  • Natural Resources & Climate Change
    Natural Resources & Climate Change The natural environment is the foundation upon which communities are built. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the kinds of natural resources that exist in Enfield and determine how they can contribute to the community’s vision for the future. The chapter will also examine the condition of those resources and try to shed light on how people’s actions and land use decisions can affect their environment. A review of the regulations that govern the use of the town’s resources will help to make sure that the goals, objectives, policies and actions of this Plan will be consistent with other local, regional, statewide and national regulations and policies. Most importantly, the information in this chapter will help the Town identify areas that are suitable for development, those that can support limited development, and those that should be protected from development. Geographic Location Enfield is a town of approximately 34 square miles in north-central Connecticut, along the border with Massachusetts. The Connecticut River separates Enfield from Suffield to the west. Enfield shares its southern border with East Windsor and Ellington and its eastern border with Somers. Topography The topography ranges from 14’ - 42’ above sea level along the Connecticut River and rises as one progresses eastward. Elevations greater than 240’ are found along the eastern edge of the town, generally east of Taylor Road and Charnley Road. The town’s highest elevations of 348’ – 444’ are found in the southeast corner of the town. Figure 50 Enfield’s Topography – The lines represent the contours of the land.

  • Tales from the Riverbank
    T ALES FROM THE RIVERBANK March/April 2014 So we find ourselves waking up in the middle of Glencoe as the snow was falling all around, very odd really considering that the previous day we were sunbathing as we bimbled down the Keswick Greta. Anyway I digress, there were three of us; me, Fish and the Stig who set out on a Friday morning to drive up to sweatysockland and have a pootle down the Etive, with the initial plan to have the compulsory photo shoot as you run Right Angle Falls. En-route to Jockland we stopped off at Keswick with Tony Morgan to spend a tropical sunny day running the Keswick Greta and enjoying the views, as usual we had an argument mid-flow - this one coming from Fish who was adamant that the Customs and Excise Office of her Majesty's Government are now training bees to sniff out drugs in airport terminals. There's an elite group of 6 specially trained bees, kept in a match box, that swoop in on suitcases, alerting the authorities to any heroin smuggling. This argument lasted a good five minutes (with Fish, like a parrot shouting, "Google it! Google it! I'm telling you, Google it! - he should be on BBC’s Question time) and ended with Fish sulking after jibes about the future not being in Garlic bread but investing in guide bees, Police bees and sheep bees etc... The possibilities are endless... Page 2 March/April 2014 Anyway, he sulked for 5 minutes before I talked him around, about the way that they're now making spaghetti by extracting it from the centre of macaroni, therefore avoiding less wasted pasta! He was amazed.
