The residents of Stephenville Crossing have always lived surrounded by beauty. In the last few years, there has been concern and action, with regard to conservation, and protection , of this important resource. A number of positive things have taken place, including a no hunting zone and the restoration of a wetlands habitat. We have recognized the need to protect what we have for future generations, and we have taken a giant step in that direction.

Each spring, thousands of visitors flock to Stephenville Crossing. Some stay all summer, while others move on and return in the fall. What I am referring to is the large numbers of birds that use our wetlands and surrounding forests, marshes, lakes, streams, and pond habitat, as a staging area on their spring and fall migrations.
