Description

Singing Meadows is a 16-acre hardwood-rimmed field, once part of an old saltwater farm. It is a haven for a wide variety of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, fox and moose. The crickets, katydids, grasshoppers and cicadas add their “voices” to the amphibians’ croaking and the birds’ songs, making this truly a Singing Meadows.
