The Sunny Valley Preserve, located in New Milford, CT, is a 1,850-acre conservation area consisting of farmland, forests, wetlands, and meadows. It offers visitors the opportunity to explore nature, learn about land management, and witness environmentally compatible farming practices at observation sites. Donated by George D. Pratt Jr., the preserve's diverse topography, geology, and natural habitats support a wide range of wildlife and biological communities. The Nature Conservancy has conducted surveys to inventory the preserve's wildlife and plants, while also leasing the farmland to local farmers, resulting in increased community interest and support for conservation efforts.Generated from the website
