"Preserving special places for plants wildlife and the enjoyment of present and future generations"
This acquisition reunites what was once part of the original Tombegawoc or Deering Pond as well as the Lydston Grant.
This wetland and adjacent riparian area provides habitats for a wide range of plants and animals. The shrubby nature of parts of this reserve may possibly serve as habitat for the New England cottontail rabbit, a vanishing species. Easy access to this site means it will support outdoor classroom activities for the schools and public.
