Beaver Pond is a beautiful north-south running conservation area filled with ponds, wetlands, forests, and meadows. Historically, the entire area was extensively used for farming: the wetlands were dammed and ditched for hay, and the upland areas were used for pasture and woodlots. Jean Wood Preston, the wife of then LLCT president Bill Preston, gave Beaver Pond and surrounding land to the LLCT. Twin Pond was a gift to the LLCT from the Pertzhoff family. LLCT and RLF fundraised to purchase the surrounding private parcels.
