Knee jerk overreaction by the dot. Endemic throughout sw CT. Wilton looks like the ****ing lorax. As if this would help keep the power on in another hurricane?
Pine trees, which make up most of the forest along the reservoir on Black Rock Turnpike, were hit especially hard durning Sandy. So a good portion of the thinning was mother nature related. That having been said, it certainly looks like who ever owns the land (state, town or water company) has used the opportunity to do some additional harvesting.
It was storm damage and the need to clear the forest of dead trees.
Something tells me if it happened in Litchfield county there wouldn't be a "need" to do it. Forests managed well without our intervention. I forget if they are doing new plantings of trees which would be fine, but still, I feel it was more aesthetics then the need. Unless the rotting/compost was a threat to the reservoir then its understandable.

If this happened in an unmanaged forest, of course nothing would be done. There are many reason to clean the mess up including perserving th quality of the water in the reservior. I highly doubt it has anything to do with aesthetics. Jay

May I ask when did this happen and where exactly on CT-58 in Fairfield did this happen. I haven't been to Fairfield since July 2013, but I was wondering also was this before or after July. I hope there are still a lot of trees in the part I am near, anyone know the part with: Hoydens Hill Rd? just north of the Merritt, or Round Hill Rd right near Fairfield University? those are 2 places are where most of my family are and they said nothing has changed since July when I last talked to them, but it was about a month ago when I last talked to them.
