探花精选 Bent of the River Center and Sanctuary rests on approximately 700 acres in the western Connecticut forest. In the early 2000s, 探花精选 Connecticut made the trails on the property open to the public. Today the land is managed for forest bird conservation and for the enjoyment and education for everyone in the community. We welcome you to visit us and to learn more about this wonderful area and those of us who work to protect and enhance it every day.
