About Milde Farm

Via CT DEEP’s OSWA Grant Announcement

Size: 650.28 Acres

Description: This property is one of the largest undeveloped parcels remaining in Northwest Connecticut. The property contains farmland and core forest and supports diverse forest types including stands of conifer and hemlock, riparian forested wetlands, and oak/mixed hardwood stands. The farms to the west and south are permanently protected by conservation easements held by the Litchfield Land Trust. The property contains numerous freshwater streams, ponds, forested riparian wetlands, and swamps. Approximatively 1.4 miles of the East Branch Bantam River flows along the western boundary. This property will serve as a forest buffer for the East Branch Bantam River, protecting drinking water, maintaining cool stream temperatures and protecting habitat for aquatic, terrestrial and avian wildlife.
