Wilson Wing Moose Pond Bog Preserve (formally the Sucker Brook Preserve)
This preserve includes a 32-acre holding along a section of Sucker Brook beginning at the south end of Horseshoe Pond and extending south to the shores of Moose Pond. This portion of the property is dominated by a rich riparian environment that includes cardinal flowers and access to a viewing platform that looks out towards Moose Pond. Parking is available and a nature trail is maintained along the stream from Horseshoe Pond that provides access to a landscape rich in mammal sign and bird activity.The generosity of the Wilson Wing family launched the project to protect significant habitats in the Horseshoe Pond area. The Wing’s donation of 20.7 acres of land around Moose Pond was augment-ed by The Nature Conservancy, which added another 12 acres surrounding Sucker Brook, creating the Wilson Wing Moose Pond Bog Preserve, now owned by the GLLT.This Preserve is host to a large variety of flora and fauna that thrive in the forested and wetland habitat pre-sent. Scarlet-red Cardinal flowers grace the brook in late summer. Spring birding, winter mammal track-ing, and “owling” are favored activities. The GLLT has constructed a self guided nature interpretative trail for all ages and a view platform for your enjoyment.
