Graves Farm Wildlife Sanctuary

A primary habitat of this sanctuary is rich mesic forest with pristine cold-water streams. Other attractions are the beaver meadows and old fields now managed for bluebirds, bobolinks, swallows, and butterflies. A figure-eight trail of a little more than a mile leads from the parking area, skirts along a field, and enters a mixed forest of spectacular pine, oak, and beech trees. Because the sanctuary abuts several parcels of preserved watershed and state forestlands, large mammals such as bear, deer, fishers, coyotes, bobcats, and moose are present. Public programs are scheduled for the property each season through Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary in Easthampton.
