The Connecticut River has changed course numerous times since its creation 10,000 years ago when it formed at the end of the last Ice Age. One of its more recent course corrections happened in 1854 when a great flood turned Selden Neck into the largest island along the 410-mile-long New England waterway.

The grass climb at Houston Arboretum s Nature Playscape.Â
We know, we know. Weâre always talking about how much we love the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center, but beyond the goat landscaping services, the arborgator, the revamped Ravine Trail, and a master plan thatâs restoring the native prairie/savanna/woodland origins of this greenspace (buh-bye, invasive species) and providing new educational programming and experiences, thereâs yet another reason to adore it: The brand-new Nature Playscape.
Kids young and maybe even tween-ish will get a kick out of the new natural playground, which made its debut in May, generously supported by The Powell Foundation, W.T. and Louise J. Moran Foundation, and Phillips 66, with an additional in-kind contribution from ACT Pipe & Supply.Â
