Farm Creek Preserve

The Farm Creek Nature Preserve is ours... and it’s yours too. Whether you are a walker, runner, biker, artist or bird watcher please come for a visit and celebrate the warm weather in Rowayton’s own wild place.

Watch for Susan Edwards’ latest bird sightings in Clamdigging every other week. Susan is a passionate bird watcher and will share with us clues to look for in identifying those migrating (and year-round) feathered friends.

Save the Date! July 17th for a Celebration Dinner at Farm Creek. Seating will be limited so sign-up early for another rare evening on the Creek. Stay tuned.

And THANK YOU to everyone who is helping and has helped to bring this project to a successful conclusion. We couldn’t have done it without you! For more information, visit www.norwalklandtrust.org.

The Underground

The Underground Teen Center is an RCA sponsored program held in the lower level of the Rowayton Community Center. It provides a safe and supervised venue where our middle-school kids (6th, 7th, 8th graders) can “hang out” and socialize with friends one Friday night a month. There is an adult chaperone and 2-3 high school students in attendance. There are board games, cards, ping pong, pool, foosball, and a pinball machine. Weather permitting, there are also outdoor activities such as basketball, soccer, football, flashlight tag, Frisbee, and “manhunt.” We will also be scheduling some special events such as bingo, bowling, and a final beach party in June. This year the 6th graders will meet one Friday night a month from 6:30-8:30pm and the 7th/8th graders will meet together one Friday night a month from 6:30-8:30pm. A one-time registration fee of $100 for the year pays for staff as well as a pizza dinner each night for 10 sessions from September-June.

Please keep checking the RCA website at www.rowaytonct.com and the Rowayton Clamdigging section of the newspaper for updates. For more information or questions contact Ted Hildner at ted@eastendbrass.com.
