Revolutionary Wilds has a true “heart of the forest” feel, where quiet surroundings amplify the sounds of nature. Deep in the woods, this section offers a sense of privacy.
This part of the forest borders a natural protected wetland, preserving habitat for local wildlife like bears, deer, and chipmunks. Trees here are generously spaced and rock outcroppings along the forest floor add a unique element, providing plenty of places to pause and reflect.
Revolutionary Wilds gets its name from the rich history of this northeast section of the forest. Colliers (charcoal makers) created a charcoal clearing on this ridge during the Revolutionary War and Civil War eras.
Roughly a 15 minute walk from parking and the Welcome House, Revolutionary Wilds is easily accessible by wide trails that wind up a gentle slope towards the section.
We invite you to enjoy a personalized forest tour hosted by our Forest Guides. Bring your friends & family, meet your tree and our team, and experience the beauty of the forest you are helping to protect.
We are opening for visits by appointment on April 15 and we look forward to hosting you soon.
