As the temperance cause gained momentum during the 1820s many farmers abandoned their cider trees and transitioned to the cultivation of grafted winter apples in New England.

We want future generations to be able to enjoy a clean environment and have the opportunity to take the same type of pictures in the future as seen on the cover of the 2004 Town Report. Rainfall and/or snow melt moving over and through the ground cause non-point source pollution. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human- made pollutants. Eventually these pollutants get deposited into lakes, rivers, and wet lands. As citizens, you should know that non-point source pollution is the leading cause of water quality issues. Milford residents can play an important role in minimizing pollutants from entering the Town's waterways, preserving the natural beauty for future generations to enjoy. You can help by applying lawn and garden chemicals sparingly and according to the packaging directions. Keep litter, pet wastes, leaves, and debris out of the street gutters and storm drains. These drain directly to rivers, streams, and waterways. Dispose of used oil, antifreeze, paints, and other household chemicals properly, not into storm drains.
