The commission also declared that no hunting or trapping would be permitted in the 400-acre northern Stratford forest, the Connecticut Post reported.

Due to the possible threat of a rising beaver pond to area homes, the commission also declared it would pursue the installation of a special pipe system to lower the pond's level, said the Connecticut Post.

Roosevelt Forest is located at 700 N. Peters Lane.
