Wildlands Trust Photos

Located in Pembroke and nestled between Herring Brook and Pudding Brook, Willow Brook Farm is just over 165 acres in size.  There are several relatively flat loop trails at Willow Brook highlighted by multiple stone walls, old farm pastures, boardwalks, stream crossing (bridge), and an observation tower looking out over the wetlands bordering Herring Brook.    Also note that the 144 acre Town of Pembroke 'Misty Meadows' property abuts Willow Brook Farm and the hiking trails on both properties are interconnected.   With recent trail improvements at 'Misty Meadows'  hikers can significanty expand the scope of hikes in this area.     

All of the photos in this section are related to the many vernal pools found at the Wildlands Trust Striar Conservancy. The proximity to the Winnetuxet river along with the extensive deep clay underlying most of the preserve presents idea conditions for the formation of vernal pools.

Situated on West Elm St in Pembroke is the Wildland Trust Tucker Preserve. It stretches along the south bank of the Indian Head River beginning just upstream from the Ludden's Ford Dam.

Photos from Sylvester Field in Hanover, Stewart/Person Preserve in Kingston, Emery East in Plymouth, and North Fork Preserve in Bridgewater.

The North Fork Preserve and Perkins Conservation area straddle the Taunton River in Bridgewater.  Photos are from both preserves.   

Topping more than 400 acres, the Halfway Pond Conservation area in Plymouth wraps around the north and west banks of Halfway Pond.   It also borders Myles Standish State Park with interconnecting trails.

Great River Preserve is part of Wildlands Trust and is located in Bridgewater, MA. It is bounded along its southern edge by the Taunton River which received the 'National Wild and Scenic River' designation from congress in 2009.

Wildlands Trust put together this short video which describes the Adopt A Preserve program.
