Environmental Respect

Webb Forest is a lovely nature preserve that is a true gift to all who roam in it. New London Conservation Commission has done a wonderful job to maintain and care for this property. There are several landowners that have allowed the public to access this beautiful space. We kindly ask that as we wander through the woods to be respectful to this land so that it may be used for many generations to come.
