Canonchet Brook Preserve

Canonchet Brook Preserve Explore! Two distinct forest types - old and young - tell the story of this land. Streams and wetlands are scattered through the forests.

Large oaks, tulip poplar, and white pine that have stood for several generations speak of the past. Other areas of the preserve were more recently cleared for agricultural use, causing a young forest of mixed hardwoods and evergreens to spring up. Why the Conservancy Selected this Site
This preserve adds a link to a chain of protected lands to make one contiguous preserve. To the east is the State

of Rhode Island's Rockville Management Area, and to the west is Connecticut's Pachaug State Forest. Canonchet is one of the largest natural areas in southeastern New England and is part of the Pawcatuck Borderlands site, where the Connecticut and Rhode Island chapters of the Conservancy partner with state agencies, local land trusts, municipalities and individuals to protect the region's forests and promote enduring ecological management. What the Conservancy Has Done/Is Doing
There are a number of trails on the property, but at this time we have been able to map only one. It is a long loop on the western (North Road) side of the property.
