Description

The Richard and Virginia Weinland Nature Study Area encompasses close to forty acres, which comprised a portion of the area that used to be known as the Condon Forest. Last cut over in the 1970s, the land is now wooded and includes a variety of woodland spaces with both hard and soft wood stands, a brook, wetlands, and granite outcroppings on the ridge to the west. All these features are visible along a one-mile walking trail through the property.
