Pierpont Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary
Three loop trails allow you to
explore a meadow, a white pine
woodland, and a mixed hardwood
forest. Look for wildlife ranging
from wild turkeys and red foxes to
white-tailed deer. In the evening,
you may see beavers or otters at
the small pond on Marsh Road
or from the short spur trail to
Pierpont Meadow Pond. Members
may rent a secluded and cozy
cottage on the sanctuary from
May to October. For more
information or to make
reservations, call 978-464-2712.
