In March 2025, a longtime dream of Julia Karet and Dana Ward came to fruition with the donation of 91 acres of their land to create the Clark Road Wildlife Preserve in Unity. The forested hills and valleys provide habitat for deer, fox, coyote, snowshoe hare, porcupine, and bobcat – and occasionally even a moose wanders through. Several brooks intersect the land, converging in Fly Brook and contributing to the vast system of tributaries that comprise the Sebasticook River headwaters. A bog at the southeastern corner supports beaver and a variety of amphibians and reptiles. A new loop trail at the preserve connects to the Hills to Sea Trail, a 48-mile trail that starts in Unity and extends all the way to Belfast, which passes through the property.
