State Representative Devin Carney (R-23), who represents the towns of Lyme, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, and Westbrook, and State Representative Robert Siegrist (R-36), who represents the communities of Chester, Deep River, Essex, and Haddam, participated in a clean-up day at The Preserve on Earth Day, April 22.

The group was led by Chris Cryder, who is the special projects coordinator with Save The Sound, and other volunteers were from throughout the state. Both legislators joined the group of volunteers to de-commission redundant trails through sensitive areas. The Preserve is a work in progress and is still in the early stages of trail design, but will have trails for hikers and mountain bikers in the near future.
