Preston For the past few years, members of the Avalonia Land Trust have been combing southeastern Connecticut in search of prime properties that are worth purchasing and preserving for open space.
They found one, or rather two, in the northeast corner of town near the Griswold border that national land preservation experts identified as a top priority for acquisition. Town officials agreed and are discussing the mechanism of how to contribute $50,000 in open space funds to help purchase the properties.
The properties, owned by the Kendall family at 119 Lewis Road and 15 Rude Road feature diverse natural habitats from woodlands and fields to wetlands and scenic vistas. Moss-covered stonewalls crisscross the rolling former farmland, with an occasional giant boulder standing where the Ice Age glaciers left it.
