RICHARDSON MEMORIAL PRESERVE
Rolling fields, mixed woods and more than 1 mile of Sandy Stream await at Richardson Memorial Preserve. This 116-acre property sits high on a ridge and the view is beautiful. A sustainable forestry project initiated in 2014 will continue in Winter 2015 with the goal of improving forest health. The fields are leased to 2 local farms for production of hay and grains. A field road leads to the lowermost field. Snowshoers and skiers welcome. Woodland trails will be built following the timber harvest.
Richardson Memorial Preserve was originally granted to Unity Barn Raisers by the family of Carl Richardson. It was transferred to the SRLT in 2013.
