Description
Bald Hill East is one of Essex County's best assemblages
of rich forest land, diverse wetlands, and associated biological
diversity. Springtime migratory birds, wildflowers, and vernal pools;
summertime sedges and breeding raptors; and fall foliage and witner
tracking make this property worth a visit any time of the year.
Greenbelt protects 20 parcels, with a total of 286 acres, within
a much larger protected area. Bald Hill East is adjacent to Boxford
State Forest's Longmeadow Swamp and the John Phillips Wildlife Sanctuary,
which together consist of 1,800 acres of large land tracts spread
across the towns of Boxford, North Andover, and Middleton. |
