A 35-acre Kestrel Land Trust property (formally Elizabeth Huntington Dyer Field & Forest) on River Drive/Route 47 in North Hadley, across from the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum. Once part of the historic Forty Acres Farm, it's now a mix of a 6-acre hayfield and 29 acres of upland forest, wetland, and swamp. A roughly 1.4-mile round-trip dirt loop crosses field, forest, and wetland habitat; a shorter loop to a viewpoint was proposed in 2023.
