Chappell Beach Easement

History

This property is protected by Thomas H. Chappell and Jean Babcock Chappell.  Two narrow strips of beach on the Long Island Sound and marsh on Goshen Cove comprise this property.  Limited access on the beach from Seaside State Park or Harkness State Park.

Easements have “the common purpose of conserving the natural values of the protected property and protect the animal, bird and plant population and prevent the use or development of that property for any use.”  Easements do not have public access (except where noted); however, one of the missions of the WLT is to preserve open space and protect it from development or any other use that would harm the natural landscape.
