Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy: Open For the Season

Friday, May 1, 2026Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy, 55 Duck Pond Rd, Litchfield, CT 06759

The Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy reopens for the season, welcoming visitors back to its quiet paths, open wetlands, and remarkable collection of rare and endangered waterfowl. As spring settles in, the conservancy comes to life with new growth, active habitats, and the rhythms of the birds returning to the landscape.

Guests are invited to wander the grounds, take in the beauty of species from around the world, and experience a place dedicated to conservation, care, and connection to the natural world. Early in the season, Duck Day offers a lively moment for families and visitors to engage more deeply, but the true highlight is the chance to experience the conservancy itself as it opens once again.

Plan your visit and step into a season of renewal.
