Description

This small parcel lies on the south side of Goodale Hill Road 100 yards west of Alligator Rock. It adjoins Meshomasic State Forest east and south and across the road to the north. It is crossed by two intermittent streams which feed Wintergreen Brook - a tributary to Roaring Brook.

Notable Features

There are some good sized white ashes which unfortunately are dying probably due to white ash decline - also some nice big tulip poplars.

Conservation Purpose

Foraging area for state endangered timber rattlesnakes. It is also habitat for other wildlife and a corridor between two sections of Meshomasic State Forest.

Deed Restrictions

None.

Acquisition History

Given to the trust in 1986 by George Alexander when it failed to meet requirements as a building lot.
