Is this a $250,000 joke? A band of aging volunteers intends to lift tons of concrete and asphalt debris and sort through thousands of yards of dredged mud, weeds and rubbish? The truth won’t come from the glamorous journalism of the New Canaan Advertiser, nor from the politicians who approved the immolation of the cornfield [...]

Citing a news article in the April 9th New Canaan Advertiser titled: “Community group forms to restore portion of Waveny Park” A public-private group formed recently with the intention of restoring the Waveny Park cornfields.

Never before, in the long history of the Lapham Estate, has the property degraded more in one year than it had in 2008.

What is going on in Waveny? Are they planning a huge construction project in the middle of the woods? In a recent post we saw a dump truck driving down the jogging path. Today I came upon a new demolition project; a 20′ wide swath cut into the forest. I missed the news that they [...]

Waveny had a field, several acres wide, of tall grasses and teaming with wildlife. A few years ago a truck came and delivered a pile of concrete debris, followed by piles of asphalt debris and then dirt at the far end. Today there are no more fields.
