Singing Meadows Preserve

Singing Meadows is a 16-acre property on a gently rolling field, surrounded by hardwood trees and encompassing a small grove of apple trees and a wetland. This preserve offers an easy .75-mile loop trail over gentle slopes.  Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are options in winter on this short trail.

Singing Meadows Preserve is a delightful living laboratory for nature studies. The meadow is home to an outstanding variety of wildflowers, birds, amphibians, and some mammals.  Myriads of butterflies are attracted by the carpets of wildflowers.  A wetland traversing a central section of the field attracts frogs and toads, whose calls blend with the chirps of a multitude of insects and melodious song birds to create a symphony of nature sounds – hence the preserve’s name, “Singing Meadows.” Dogs must be leashed at all times.
