Willow Brook, Site of Annual Children’s Fishing Derby Conserved in Warner

January 2019 – Nine acres and nearly one half mile along Willow Brook has been conserved by landowners Scott and Joan Warren and the Warner Conservation Commission. Willow Brook, also known as Children’s Brook, has always been the Warner Fishing Derby location. Families come with their children, fishing poles and bait to help their kids learn the thrills of spending time outdoors.

Five Rivers is responsible for monitoring the property to ensure it is used for conservation purposes going forward.

Now this portion of Willow Brook will always be open for children who want to take a chance at catching the big one. In an era when the lure of technology means children (and parents) spend less time outdoors, Children’s Brook is a very important place for introducing children to the inspiration of nature. With the area conserved, future generations of parents and children will have access to this special place – Children’s Brook.
