DESCRIPTION: This 170-acre property is comprised of 70 acres of meadows, a myriad of hedgerows, wetlands, a 2-acre millpond, Darby Creek, and successional and mature Woodlands.

The meadows in the fall/winter host an abundance of sparrows while the hedgerows and woodland edges host a variety of migrant songbirds in the spring.
