Welcome to Emery Preserve! This land is part of the original donation that helped to start the Wildlands Trust!. Emery Preserve (East and West) is part of the Davis-Douglas Conservation area (including the farm that is now the new Wildlands Trust headquarters!) which also includes Six Ponds East Preserve. The Trust acquired these preserves beginning with the donation of the Emery Preserves in 1973. The following families and individuals made these two preserves possible: Mary B. Emery, Arthur H. Emery, Edward S. Emery, III, Richard B. Emery, Mary Charlotte (Emery) Russell, H. Shippen, and Lydia Goodhue. The parcels donated total 142.66 acres. In 2001, the 80 acre Six Ponds East Preserve, previously under a Chapter 61 Forest Management Plan for many decades, was acquired by the Trust and with the generosity of the Six Ponds Community. Between the Six Ponds East Preserve and Emery West Preserve lies Town of Plymouth conservation land, acquired with the assistance of the Trust in 2010. The Davis-Douglas Farm was purchased through the generosity of the community and funds from public and private sources.
