One of Waveny Park Conservancy’s first projects in conjunction with the Town and generous support from the New Canaan Community Foundation, was to tackle the main pedestrian trail leading from South Avenue up to Waveny House.

The goal was to address safety concerns for pedestrians walking in the road along a significant blind curve, as well as to provide a more enjoyable walk or run. Part of the work involved clearing trees downed b y Hurricane Sandy while also clearing invasive undergrowth.
