Matianuck State Park & Windsor Wildlife Management Area Habitat Management

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is planning to conduct a prescribed burn at a portion of the sand dune within the Matianuck Natural Area Preserve (NAP) and the Windsor Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in coming weeks weather permitting. The prescribed or controlled burn is an effective way to sustain and enhance the wildlife habitat. DEEP Wildlife Division last conducted a prescribed burn in these areas in spring 2024 that was safe and successful. Their plan is to conduct a prescribed fire over sections of the grassy sand dune located at the center of preserves. The Fire Department and Fire Marshal’s Office have been contacted by CT DEEP.
