This is a continuation of a discussion that was started in July of 2009 regarding White's Farm with a special focus on issues related to its frequent flooding as well as any other matters of interest to the public.
Since the meeting, a study was conducted by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service entitled "Allyn Brook Rehabilitation Project Conceptual Design and Channel Alignment Options" which will be presented at the forum.
White's Farm is a large tract of meadows and fields, lying north of the Durham Fair Grounds and south of Route 68. It is part of the floodplain for the Coginchaug River, and is the most popular and frequently visited open space property in Durham. It is used for passive recreation by individuals and organized groups, and provides some opportunities for active recreation (e.g. Skating Pond).
