DESCRIPTION
This area has long
been referred to as the Beverly Commons, and during colonial times
was a major thoroughfare from Salem to Gloucester, an important
source of firewood as woodlots, and later,a common pasture area
for grazing sheep. This woodlot is a rare asset for any town of
city to own. It is very scenic and offers serenity for both people
and wildlife. In the early spring you can find vernal pools and
evidence of amphibian breeding. As the season progresses, you can
find many wildflowers, including wild columbine and various kinds
of violets, lady slippers, and jack-in-the-pulpits. |
