WidowMaker Farm
About WidowMaker Farm
The conserved land of WidowMaker Farm protects wildlife, plants, and ecosystems containing wetlands, ponds and streams. Sixty-six acres of the property are ranked as top tier wildlife habitat by the NH Fish & Game Department’s Wildlife Action Plan. Several perennial and intermittent streams link more than 32 acres of ponds and wetlands that are pristine headwater sources for downstream drinking water.
MMRG’s 2017 Conservation Action Plan rates this land as Tier 1 (highest) for conservation values with overlapping attributes and for its connectivity to more than 5,000 acres of conserved lands to the south. The land also falls within MMRG’s Priority 1 Greenway and facilitates wildlife migration along safe corridors. An actively managed timber forest, WidowMaker Farm is the host of occasional MMRG events such as MOOSEie wreath making or ponding events.
When visiting WidowMaker Farm, the kiosk and trail head will be to the lefthand side. Please respect private property.
This project was made possible through a New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program Grant (LCHIP), the Town of New Durham, and many private donors.
