Wild & Scenic Committee

The Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Wild & Scenic Committee (LFSWS) is made up of a town-appointed representative and alternate from each partner town (Avon, Bloomfield, Burlington, East Granby, Farmington, Granby, Hartland, Simsbury and Windsor), representatives from the Farmington River Watershed Association, the Pequabuck River Watershed Association and the Salmon Brook Watershed Association, Stanley Black & Decker, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the National Park Service.

• addressing river-related issues.
• reviewing and updating the Management Plan.
• promoting public involvement and education.
• promoting river and brook enhancement initiatives, dispersing the federal funding provided.
• reporting to the member towns and organizations on the Committee’s activities.
• preparing periodic status reports.
