The Bethel Board of Selectmen has approved rules fir the Franc property and made a referral to the Parks and Recreation Department.  The Franc Preserve was officially designated as a town park last Tuesday. 

The lead trail has been designated as the J.R. Shannon Trail.  A sign dedication will be planned. 

The rules are similar to other parks in town.  The preserve will be open sunrise to sunset, no alcohol or drugs will be allowed, no hunting or trapping, dogs must be on leashes and whatever is brought in--must be brought out.  Bicycles and motorized vehicles will not be permitted.
