Log Description
This meadow, adjacent to the Preserve's parking area, was formerly a town sand and salt site. With time, it is slowly rewilding and will eventually become a forest once again. In 2019 and 2020, Northeast Wilderness Trust added berms and mulch and planted native shrubs and flowers to jump-start the reforestation process.
