Catch fish for science!

 ,   Add to calendar
 68 Shelter Rock Rd Bethel CT 06801  See map

The Bethel Land Trust is currently doing a survey of what species live on our preserves. We need your help!

 

Go fishing at any of our five properties with a fishing area:

  • Imbrogno Preserve (Country Way)
  • Ivy Island (Walters & Chelsea Hts)
  • Libby Kellogg Preserve (across from Meckauer)
  • Mike’s Pond (Chestnut Ridge)
  • Wolfpits

 Get directions on our website.

After you've gone fishing, use this internet form to report what you caught and if you saw any invasive species while fishing.  Bonus: submit a picture of what you caught!

 

This information will help us better manage the preserve. Reporting invasive species helps us stop them in their tracks before they get established.

 

All the Bethel Land trust properties are open to public from dawn to dusk every day. Please have a valid CT fishing licence. You may either throw your catch back OR keep it. Please see our fishing page for info on best practices to avoid introducing invasive species to the property.

Great activity for all ages. If you submit a picture of your catch with the report, we may feature the picture on our website!

Looks like Matty and Aquarion have a little pre-decision propaganda campaign going on. Shameless.

They can post all these cute award announcements on the fences they'll build around our reservoirRead More lands--the lands you won't be able to go into anymore once this good ol' boy sale goes through!

Let's see, the Bureau of Economic Analysis rated Connecticut's economy the worst in the nation andRead More this is the type of legislation we are to expect from and congratulate our legislators for? Nice priorities, Dave. Now that you have such a victory under your belt, what are you going to do about the economic mess we're in? http://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Connecticut-s-economy-worst-in-nation-4583083.php

Maybe the reason we have such economic problems is that it literally takes an act of Congress toRead More allow kids to go swim in a place where people have been swimming for 50 years. Note that the reason the beach was closed (geese) is still a problem, still causes beach closings and plane crashes, yet no one can do anything about it apparently!

These clowns find time to pass swimming legislation, legislation restricting gun rights and accessRead More to public information....but they can't pass legislation to help our state's economy, the worst in the nation. Davey and his pals have had enough fun in Hartford. It's time for a change.

Knickerbocker's probably getting some sort of sweetheart deal or kickback out of it. KnickerbockerRead More only cares about what's in it for Knickerbocker.

While I agree with Mr. & Mrs. Fiddes' position, in order for Bethel to remedy the situationRead More itself means that town money will have to be spent. There is quite a vocal constituency that considers raising taxes to pay for *anything* an outrage. If that group can be swayed by this issue, then perhaps we can keep Aquarion out.
