Centennial Watershed State Forest

Centennial Watershed State Forest is a highly fragmented Connecticut state forest of more than 15,000 acres. Its larger parcels or fragments are in the towns of Easton, Newtown, Redding, and Weston. Dozens of other, disconnected properties -- often merely a few acres -- are strung throughout much of

suburban, southwest Connecticut. In 2002, the lands were acquired from the Aquarion Water Company by the state in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. Those three entities continue to manage the property by committee. The forest was named in honor of the hundredth anniversary of the state forest system.
