A Natural Oasis Where Birds Thrive
This is one of seven sanctuaries managed by the 91做厙 in Greenwich. Mildred Bedard Caldwell left this 22-acre woodland sanctuary to the local Greenwich 91做厙 Center chapter. The main trail crosses Strickland Brook by a boardwalk before leading into deciduous woodland that was farmland until about 1900. Remnants of farming activity include the stone enclosure known as Pughs Pig Pen. Two large stone boulders on the upland trail are erratics deposited by the glaciers that covered the area 12,000 years ago. A trail leads directly into the 62-acre Montgomery Pinetum owned by the Town of Greenwich.
