CMA Visual Tour Stop #9
Mosquito ditch
Photo by Blaine Rothauser
The ditches were created by the mosquito commission in the sixties, to help with drainage.
The ditches both connect to the Silver brook. Spotted, snapping and wood turtles have all been seen there. The Wood turtle (Clemmys insulpta) is a state threatened animal.
Look for fish — red-finned pickerel and the mudminnow have both been spotted.
