This generous gift added valuable acreage to protected land in the “wilderness loop,” a conservation focus area of the Land Trust, and is just upriver from the Gibson Preserve. The property features a birch-beech-maple forest, old fields, alder shrub thickets along the riverbank, and marsh habitats. There is an osprey nest in the area, and if you are quiet you might see a snowshoe hare. The preserve is managed to protect wildlife habitat and maintain natural communities.

​

The property has .25 miles of trails that bring you right up to the Georges River. The preserve is open to the public for day use only; no overnight camping is allowed. Hunting is permitted with prior permission.
