PROPERTY
DESCRIPTION
Over the late summer and early fall
of 2004, the Greenbelt stewardship staff worked to prepare the
Ordway property for public use. Fields beginning to grow in with
cherry, small cedars and sumac were cleared and mowed, a split
rail fence was installed along the street frontage, and a new
Greenbelt sign was erected. Earlier in the year a bronze memorial
plaque had been installed, honoring the Ordway family’s
conservation gift.This property, located along the edge of the
historic Common Pasture, supports a diversity of habitat, including
open fields, upland forest and extensive freshwater marshlands.
