Description

This 25-acre property contains fields, forests and woodland border. The forested area contains a mix of hardwood and evergreen trees including red and white oak, birch, black spruce, white pine, red maple, and more. There are also many well-established native plants, wildflowers, and saplings. The field area is buffered from the forest by taller grasses and shrubs, with most of the upper fields still in agricultural use. Several fruit trees are scattered throughout the field. The protected property was historically a farm and orchard and was restored to commercial and nonprofit agricultural use for a variety of field crops.

A series of short trails totaling 0.6 miles allow walkers to gently explore these fields and forests.
