A number of individuals and organizations have come forward to offer money towards the reward.  We will print the full list of contributors as soon as we have it.  The Ash Creek Conservation Association has pledged $500 towards the reward to the first person whose information leads the police to the arrest and conviction of the person who committed the environmental crime of girding 15 sycamore trees at St.

If you haven't yet heard, 15 trees at St. Mary's were vandalized Saturday night about 11:30pm.  Someone with a chainsaw cut a full ring cut to the trunks of all but two of the trees from the beach to the flagpole.

A new osprey nesting platform has been erected on Burr Creek in Black Rock.  The Arthur Street Neighbors Committee received city permission to build and install a wooden nesting platform for ospreys on an unused utility pole on a small city green space directly on Burr Creek.  The platform was put into place on November 21, 2009. 

Please come join Save the Sound and the Ash Creek Conservation Association in our Fall Clean Up.  As always, we will have refreshments and a good time.

The Fairfield Inland Wetlands Commission approved the Long Term Conservation Area Management Plan proposed by Blackrock Realty, the developer of the Fairfield Metro Center project, at a May 15 meeting, in a 4-0 vote with one abstention.

 Let's keep a running log of bird sightings at Ash Creek.  This will be helpful in showing the DEP the variety of wildlife at Ash Creek and will be educational for residents as well.
