Kent, Wilton planning for more outdoor visitors

Guidelines for how summer camps will be allowed to operate will not be available until May 15th, but Wilton Parks and Recreation Director Steve Pierce is starting to make modifications to this year's summer camp program.  It will be smaller and different than previous summers.

Expectations are that campers will be separated in groups of no more than 10 and swimming at Merwin Meadows will not be included, as it does not allow for proper social distancing. 

As the weather improves, overcrowding in many public places in Kent has been a growing issue.  The Emergency Management Team has been working with State Police, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and others to ensure visitors comply with the Governor's Executive Orders. 

No Parking signs have been posted along the road just south of the Bull's Bridge intersection and enforcement action will be taken with the help of an additional Trooper in Kent on certain weekends.  The Bull's Bridge volunteers will have a presence and will be reminding visitors of the orders.  DEEP will be checking fishing licenses.
