Fuller Forest Preserve

Visiting the Preserve

This preserve includes access to more than 4 miles of trails through forested wetlands. Plan a hike with family and friends in any season. The preserve is open from dawn to dusk.

Natural History

Fuller Forest Preserve is a sustainably-managed working forest with public access trails. These 220 acres include a mixed hardwood forest, ponds, streams, and forested wetlands that provide habitat for a diversity of wildlife including spotted salamanders, wood frogs, and wading birds. You’ll also find stonewalls from a past era of agriculture, and evidence of timber harvests that continue to make the forest more diverse and healthy. This preserve abuts additional conservation lands that together create a 1,300-acre contiguous block of undeveloped land. This type of vast unfragmented habitat, where wildlife can freely roam, is critical to the survival and longevity of many species.

Cultural History

We acknowledge that our preserves sit on Abenaki lands. We extend our sincere gratitude and respect to these original caretakers of this land, and to all other Wabanaki people who have a relationship with this land.
