The Wilton Conservation Commission has scheduled a Luminaria Walk and Bonfire for Saturday, March 1, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Schenck’s Island in Wilton Center. Residents are welcome to stop by to warm up by a roaring bonfire, enjoy hot chocolate and s’mores, and take a stroll along the walking trails lit with luminarias. (The rain date for the event is Sunday, March 2.)
Parking is available across the street from Schenck’s Island and around Wilton Center. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Dogs must be on leash.
Schenck’s Island is a town-owned open space located in Wilton Center. It offers a large lawn, a scenic meadow, walking trails and fishing in the Norwalk River. Picnic tables are available to enjoy.
The Wilton Conservation Commission is looking for new volunteer members. Anyone interested in joining this commission can visit the Town of Wilton website or contact either the Republican Town Committee or Democratic Town Committee for further information.
