The Lenox community desires to maintain its small-town feel, pastoral views, and ecological richness. Lenox’s 2013 Open Space and Recreation Plan works to realize the town’s collective vision by setting goals to preserve and improve water resources such as Laurel Lake, protect rare species like the Jefferson Salamander and the Bald Eagle. It also works to create a comprehensive trail map including paths in Kennedy Park, Woods Pond, and other Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, connecting people to a variety of recreation spaces such as the Housatonic River and New Lenox with additional trails and sidewalks. Achieving these goals will enhance, protect, and connect Lenox’s precious resources for the future.”
