Encompassing a wide variety of relatively undisturbed upland and wetland habitats, this 554 acre (with an additional ~100 acres in conservation easements) historic estate serves as a model land management preserve dedicated to environmental education, research and bird conservation. The site contains exceptional habitats for birds and other wildlife, including extensive areas of shrub/scrub habitat, grasslands, upland and floodplain forests as well as wetland complexes and eight vernal pools.
