Quick context to catch up fast.
On November 12, 2025 the Ledyard Town Council held a hybrid public hearing on transferring two town-owned parcels — 19 Avery Hill Road Extension (the 4.978-acre “Kettle Hole”) and 13 Applewood Drive — to Avalonia Land Conservancy at no consideration. Presentations by the Land Use Director outlined that both parcels would be combined with existing Avalonia holdings and remain open for passive recreation. Conditions noted in the legal notice include Avalonia paying all conveyance fees, a reversion provision offering the parcels back to the Town (120-day acceptance period) if Avalonia can no longer hold them, and, for 13 Applewood Drive, a 10-foot access to be marked by a surveyor and installation of signage. Public comment included support for improved management and connectivity and opposition to permanently giving away town land. The hearing was adjourned at 6:25 p.m.; a Special Town Meeting to vote on the conveyances was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. the same evening.
