Sears and Forbes Conservation Lands

The adjacent parcels, the Sears Conservation Land (82 acres) and Forbes Conservation Land (8 acres), feature excellent botanical diversity as well as a rich history of land use.  The properties include several woodland communities, wetlands, open fields, and meadows, with trails and lanes that traverse marsh and pond edge, eskers, old railroad beds, and rocky outcrops.  Areas of the properties are set aside for forestry management and a vegetated wetland study. While identifying herbaceous and woody plants, we will also observe signs of Weston’s rich history, such as an abandoned mill site and apple orchards.
