Emergency Burn Ban In Effect 10/26/24 - An emergency burn ban is now in effect for all Connecticut State Parks, Forests, and Wildlife Management areas, prohibiting the use of all outdoor grills, firepits, and campfires, and the kindling and use of flame outdoors. DEEP and local agencies are working to contain several active fires across the state. Please avoid all affected State Parks and Forests, as well as the blue-blazed Mattabesett Trail. The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and portions of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are closed at this time. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at a 'very high' or 'extreme' level. More information about the current fire danger, burn ban and recommended safety measures can be found here

The CT Materials Reuse Network (CT MRN) is a group of professionals interested in materials reuse and increasing deconstruction and building materials reuse activities in Connecticut. Deconstruction may increase reuse and recovery efforts of construction, renovation and demolition debris and surplus/salvaged goods in the State. All are welcome to attend the meetings. Contact Sherill Baldwin to be added to the MRN e-mail list.
