2. You know its spring in Hadlyme when the 65-foot diesel-run Selden III ferry crosses the Connecticut River from Chester to Hadlyme. This year's maiden voyage will be accompanied by a special event to be held on April 2nd to commemorate the opening of the ferry season. (Middletown Press)
3. Trout season is all year long now in Connecticut. Last year the Connecticut General Assembly passed a new law that removed any close season for trout, which means that year-round residents can go fish for trout.” And, to make things even better for anglers in the nutmeg state, the DEEP is currently out stocking 500 thousand, Rainbow, Brown, Brook and Tiger trout in lakes, ponds, rivers and streams throughout the state.

4. Are electric school buses the way of the future? They might be in Connecticut. North Haven got the first big electric school bus in the state. It can fit up to 71 passengers. Rosemarie Arma, director of ACES transportation, said “The electric school bus is the first step in the transition to electric vehicles and safer for the environment and our students and communities."
