The Housatonic Valley Association has collaborated with towns, including Brookfield, on an EPA approved watershed plan for the Still River.  As part of the process, a draft existing conditions report on the health of the watershed has been prepared by HVA. 

The organization works to restore and protect the 2,000 square miles of the Housatonic watershed.  Conservation Projects Manager Courtney Moorehouse says work on the Still River area plan started in 2014.  She says most of the impacted area is in Danbury, not Brookfield because of the surrounding geography.  The river is bordered in Brookfield by mostly forested land.  She notes that there are a few spots that lack a buffer where ammonia was measured. 

An accessible and contiguous trail from Danbury, through Brookfield, up to Lovers Leap in New Milford is planned.  Moorehouse says they also want to look into putting in boat launches along the Still River so people can enjoy the natural resource.  There's one in Danbury and one at Erikson Road.  One is planned at Harrybrooke Park this fall.  They are looking to add one near the falls by the Brookfield Craft Center as well. 

Moorehouse says they would do fundraising to accomplish that proposed project.
