LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Dear Friends,
As we embark on a new journey of change in 2021, we remain hopeful that life will return to a place where we can
socialize and recreate as we have in the past, but the reality will be a blend of new safe practices. The past year
has been extremely challenging and unlike any year we have endured before. With these challenges, also Pam Gery & Town Administrative Staff at Weed Beach Fest
came new learning experiences and two things became abundantly clear: 1. Parks are essential
2. Pre-pandemic ways of operating are forever changed. Our team at the Parks & Recreation Department responded quickly and began to create and
embrace a new way of doing things, and our programs and parks are now busier than ever. While our attendance at our parks continues to swell, our
park crew also continues to work diligently to keep them clean and safe for everyone’s enjoyment.
As we continue to research on how best to serve all of you, I came across a national survey that the National Parks & Recreation Association did
recently and found the following top 10 next best practices for 2021 and years to come:
1. In-person offerings and virtual programming will coexist.
2. People will view access to parks/outdoors as a right, not a luxury.
3. Zoom will be a verb.
4. Basic personal hygiene and public sanitation requirements will increase by significant levels.
5. Our understanding of truly essential workers will change.
6. Permanent office spaces will shrink as work from home and remote working become an expectation, not a perk.
7. Customer experiences will be more faceless and/or touchless.
8. Agencies will need to be sensitive to individual comfort levels around preferred greetings.
9. Being busy is less important than being present – Be.More.Present.
10. E-Sports will continue to grow exponentially with virtual versions of major sports.
We hope you enjoy the offerings of our spring/summer brochure for you and your family. We hope that you will find something special, whether from
the comfort of your home or safely in-person. Together we will look forward to a different but successful 2021!
Warm regards, Pamela Gery
RESIDENT RECOGNITION: JULIET CAIN & DEEPIKA SAKSENA FROM DARIEN POLLINATOR PATHWAY!
“We are so honored to be recognized by Parks & Recreation for the work we have been doing with the Department and around Town!
The mission of the Darien Pollinator Pathway is to restore habitat by using native plants, shrubs and trees and
avoiding synthetic chemicals. Last year, Parks & Recreation invited us to start a native garden at Tilley Pond Park.
We also consulted with the Town in relation to their plans for Highland Farm and are proud of both the grant received
by the Town for the meadow and plantings, as well as the Town’s commitment to maintain the property, including
the playing fields, pesticide-free. The property will form a significant portion of the Pollinator Pathway.
We had several meetings with the Parks & Recreation Commission and staff in relation to maintenance of sports
playing fields in Town Parks. We are thrilled that the Commission has decided, starting this year, to launch a pilot
program to maintain Casey Field at Cherry Lawn solely with organic materials as part of a multi-year plan to phase out chemicals in Town parks.
And we have many projects planned for 2021! First up is a plan to restore a section of Stony Brook by removing invasives like Mugwort, Oriental
Bittersweet and Burning Bush, and replacing them with native plants and shrubs. We have applied for a $5,000 grant, but will only receive this grant if
we can generate matching funds and volunteer hours. If you would like to donate money or time to help, please contact us at
darien@pollinator-pathway.org.
We will also be launching a new initiative “Kiss My Grass – Goodbye”! Offering free native plants for residents replacing all or part of their lawns.
We will continue private home visits to advise on how to incorporate native plants, even in the trickiest spots and will hold our annual native plant sale in
late June. Last year we used some of the proceeds of our sale to build raised beds and supply plants to the Urbanscape Native Plant Nursery in New
Haven which teaches the importance of native plants in a community that has very little by way of green space and plantings. And until we can hold live
educational events, we will continue to host topical Zooms in collaboration with the Darien Library and other organizations.
Thank you all for helping us make Darien a healthy and pollinator-friendly Town!” ~ Juliet and Deepika
Thank you again Juliet and Deepika!
