This natural jewel of land and water offers some of the most superb hiking in Hampden County. One of the furthest inland Atlantic white cedar swamps in the U.S, the conservation area contains the rare Hessel's Hairstreak Butterfly, along with other protected species: two types of salamanders and the Eastern Spadefoot Toad. Unfortunately, the adjoining habitats are threatened with proposed housing, especially from the Cedar Ridge complex.
THE LATEST CEDAR RIDGE EXPANSION ATTEMPT: 68V-C
PARCEL 68V-C (PICTURED) HAS BEEN SAVED FROM DEVELOPMENT!...FOR NOW. The voters at the Annual Town Meeting on May 13, 2013, rejected the town's proposal to authorize the land for sale!
