$Manresa Wilds\u2019 Community Event at the Maritime Aquarium$

Join Manresa Wilds for our fourth community event—an evening of shared vision—hosted at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
About this Event

This event features the reveal of the Manresa Wilds’ concept plan, shaped by the ideas and feedback shared with us throughout our community engagement process from over the last year. During the speaking program, we will share what we heard, what we learned, and how community input has informed changes to the Master Plan that was shared in July 2025.

After the presentation, guests are invited to meet and connect with Manresa Wilds' staff, park consultants, and partners. Representatives from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, The Maritime Aquarium, Wesleyan University, and other collaborators will be available to discuss on-site research and projects.
