Property Description	206 acres | Established 2000
This wooded reservation is part of a complex of rocky summits, ridgelines, and valleys that are known collectively as Dry Hill.  Dry, acidic oak forest covers the upper slopes and ridgetops.  Dense thickets of mountain laurel alternate with more open areas featuring low bush blueberry, sheep laurel, starflower, bellwort, and Canada mayflower. A loop trail encircles a shallow stream drainage area that contains several vernal ponds and a red maple and hemlock swamp with a diverse mix of ferns and herbs, including trout lily, dwarf ginseng, miterwort, foamflower, and wood horsetail. Dry Hill is part of a larger landscape of contiguous forest critical as habitat for large mammals and for many species of woodland birds, such as the black-throated blue warbler.
