This 110-acre sanctuary is comprised of rocky and forested areas, bogs, wetlands, open beaver ponds, second and third growth forest, a stream, and meadows. Beavers, muskrats, moose, raccoons, otters, red fox, weasels, and many migratory birds may be found in the wetland areas, while white-tailed deer, black bears, porcupines, and opossum reside in the forested areas. :  The property came to the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust through the recommendation of Barbara Birdsey -- an advisor and generous land donor to HSWLT -- to the Orenda Land Trust's Board of Directors.

The Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust holds the title to this sanctuary.  That means HSWLT is responsible for all property taxes and maintenance costs for the property -- every year, forever.  In addition periodic inspections are made to ensure that the wildlife habitat remains in good condition.  These inspections, and the handling of any damage or destruction, cost heavily in professional staff time and travel expenses.

HSWLT has promised to keep this property as a sanctuary forever -- and that promise will be kept.  If you can help with the cost of stewardship for this and the other properties HSWLT protects, please donate here.
