This 102.6 acres of largely forested land was donated to Joshua’s Trust by Ada Wolf in 2007. Located on Back Road in Windham, the property is in an area identified as having the highest natural resource priority in the Town of Windham’s Plan of Conservation. Streams which course through the woods feed into a 22-acre shallow pond, known as Lake Marie.

In addition to the property, Ada Wolf left an endowment for its management and for our land trust to protect adjacent lands, a far-sighted gift which opens a potential greenway. In accordance with Ada Wolf’s wishes, the property is named the Alanach-Wolf Woodlands.

President Allison Burchell-Robinson welcomed close to 100 guests for the dedication of the Alanach-Wolf Woodlands on May 23, 2010.

For more information, puchase a copy of the latest Joshua's Tract Walk Book, for sale at the Trust office every Thursday during office hours, and at local stores around the area.
