Waveny Park Conservancy in New Canaan Celebrates Donors, Projects

NEW CANAAN, CT -- The Waveny Park Conservancy in New Canaan, Connecticut, held a reception Saturday, June 15, 2019, in the restored parterre garden to celebrate its donors, and community partners. The conservancy recently cleared the area of overgrowth on the east side of the house leading down to the pond in preparation for the imminent dredging of the pond. Thanks to a donation from the Harlan and Lois Anderson Family Foundation, it will now be called the Anderson Pond. The meadow, which was originally a cornfield 100 years ago, has been cleared of invasive phragmites, and is now in phase two with the support of longtime New Canaan resident Carole Clarkson, and her family’s foundation, the Jeniam Foundation.
