DARIEN It was a day of discovery and re-discovery for hundreds of local families that attended Selleck’s Woods Adventure Day on Sunday.
Darien native Kate Dockstader recalls the open space land at the end of Parklands Drive which includes Selleck’s Woods & Dunlap Woods Nature Preserve in considerable decay and disrepair when she was growing up.
“Selleck’s Woods looks great,” she said, adding she was excited to bring her own children to the space. “Thanks to all the volunteers and the people who are here to make it happen.”

The Jurassic-themed park in Lenwade is normally packed with families during the school holidays, but its February Fantasy half-term extravaganza will instead go online this year.
It will run throughout the week on the park s social media pages and at 1pm each day, Dippy and members of the Dinomite Gang will broadcast directly to dinosaur fans at home with prizes up for grabs.
Monday will be Animal Day, with the chance to meet some of the animals in the park s secret garden, Tuesday is Adventure Day, which will follow a trail to catch troublesome trolls, Wednesday is Reading Day, with fairy tales read aloud, Thursday is Active Day, featuring Dippy s Dinosaur Disco Dancing, and Friday is Craft Park, with the chance to create frozen fossil fingers using ice.
