Connecticut's Department of Environmental Protection has unveiled a management plan for the 906-acre Nye-Holman State Forest aimed at enhancing wildlife protection and biodiversity over the next decade. The plan designates 20% of the area as an 'old forest management area' for natural development, while also focusing on carbon sequestration, habitat diversification, and invasive species management, alongside commercial harvests on 170 acres to support local jobs. Established as state property in 1931, the forest plays a crucial role in supporting threatened species within the Roaring Brook and Bonemill Brook watersheds.
