Another New Addition to Aton Forest!

Boundary markers on Shantry Rd.

Aton Forest has purchased 34 acres in Norfolk, CT adjacent to the existing preserve.  The newly acquired land is split into two parcels by Shantry Road and lies south of Knapp Hill, a dry hickory-oak summit.  The southern parcel is divided by Loon Brook, a major tributary of Sandy Brook and just upland from a sizable wetland.  A small tributary to Loon Brook also runs through the property.  This land acquisition project has been in the works for years and we are very happy to now protect these important areas.
