Description

Donated to the Sharon Land Trust (SLT) in 2018, this preserve offers scenic views of the western Taconics and Catskills. The parcel features hardwood stands, hilltop habitat, farmland and streams. It includes over 1,800 feet of stream corridor in the Mill Brook watershed. The preservation of the land has ensured that the excellent water quality of the stream is maintained for future generations of people and wildlife.
