Description
Come explore the eastern portion of Charlestown Moraine Preserve with us. This terminal moraine marks the areas where the advance of the ice left large deposits of soil, rock and gravel. Second growth oak and some birch, juniper and white pine, with an understory of fern beds, buckle berry and mountain laurel dominate the forest. The forest also supports a diversity of wildlife species including resident and migratory bat species.
Schoolhouse Pond Preserve: This is a 93 acre property across from Burlingame Wildlife Management. The beautiful property consists of undeveloped frontage on pristine School House Pond plus 2.5 miles of hiking trails through hardwood and pine forest. Visit www.westerlylandtrust.org for details.
