This land that makes up this preserve was generously donated by Jane Fasullo in 2013.  The trail provides a quiet walk through mixed forest that passes several high quality vernal pools.  A kiosk funded by a Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund grant features information on the pool residents.  The woodlands also host a representative forest songbird community and local mammals.  Trails provide a short hike or snowshoe during the winter months.

​

There is a cleared parking area off the road, with an informational kiosk that is kept open by volunteer snowplower Dwight Gould. The property is just north of Mitchell's Metal Roofing.

​

In 2022 we plan to expand the trail system to include a second loop which will allow more extensive exploration of the forest.
