Description:

• Discover a Hidden Gem in Pelham! Take a break from your routine and step into the tranquil Little Island Pond Conservation Area—a peaceful 21.5-acre woodland sanctuary. With nearly a mile of easy, scenic trails, this is the perfect escape to reconnect with nature.
• A Forest of White Pines & Hardwoods: Wander through a serene forest dominated by towering white pines and scattered hardwoods. You’ll spot remnants of ancient stone walls—traces of this land’s farming past from the 1800s.
• Thriving White Pines & Oak Trees: The gently rolling landscape, with its sandy, well-drained soils, creates the ideal environment for lush white pines and oaks to thrive.
• Streams & Vernal Pools: Discover small streams and temporary vernal pools that provide essential habitats for wildlife while contributing to natural flood control.
• Birdwatching Paradise: Watch the skies for hawks and eagles, who often nest in the tall pines near Little Island Pond and Peters Pond. Don’t forget your binoculars!
