Many species of wild birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians also can be found at our farm. These creatures inhabit our red maple forest, streams, fields, vernal pools, orchards and buildings. We benefit from their presence and invite you to share your observations of them with us. We keep a special eye out for species that are threatened, endangered, or of special concern.
