Welcome to Timberland
Preserve
Timberland Preserve in 1975 and the forest
is managed primarily for wildlife habitat,
nature-based recreation and education.
Comprised of a mixed upland forest, the
Preserve offers access to the beautiful Iron
Stream, a cool, high-quality trout stream
and the headwater for the East River.
Timberland is part of a large expanse of forest,
relatively unfragmented by paved roads or
development. This greenway provides ample
habitat for fisher and warblers, veery, wood
thrush, and other forest-nesting birds.
With over 15 miles of marked trails, including
the New England Trail and a tree identification
trail, visitors are sure to find many
opportunities to explore this naturally
rich and unique property.
