Drury Preserve – The Nature Conservancy – Sheffield, MA
This preserve is home to great blue herons, bobcats, and a variety of forest and plant communities. There is a spectacular view across Schenob Brook of Mount Race. The preserve includes the Drury tract (65 acres), and also encompasses more than 300 acres of contiguous, protected land.
A lightly marked trail, which is approximately a 3-mile walk, gently slopes through a variety of wet and dry communities. There are boardwalks over the wettest areas, but waterproof shoes are a good idea.
