Created by Otis Sawyer, the 28 acre Sawyer Preservation Woodlot has two higher ground trails for all year round walking, and two lower trails which may be wet in the spring. Each trail has several side paths. In this forest ecosystem, people see how natural processes can work together to sustain a healthy forest that is actively managed. The formation of the Sawyer Preservation Woodlot Association has allowed this unique forest to be protected for the enjoyment of future generations. An educational brochure, highlighting the 34 species of trees found along this trail allows hikers to conduct their own self guided tour as they learn about the trees in this forest community. Poison ivy is present in the woodlot but not an obstruction on trails.
