Description

Upland forest interspersed with vernal pools yields to the important and fragile wetlands of Beaver Dam Heath, home to animals needing extensive range and diverse habitat to thrive. The 145-acre Grant’s Meadow preserve is located in the northwest portion of the 1600-acre heath.

Great Works Regional Land Trust leads an annual two-hour ski/snowshoe hike on the heath in February.
