The Nature Preserve

Trail markers lead through our private nature preserve.  Deer, turkeys, grouse, woodpeckers and hawks are common, a pair of bald eagles nest locally. Mature oak, pine, beech, and hemlock keep the forest floor open, wild flowers abound in season.  Access is by gated driveway with parking by the tennis courts. The area is available to all residents.
