A modest, lesser-known Harvard College property in the middle of Hamilton, straddling the commuter rail tracks, planted long ago with groups of exotic trees and shrubs and now managed with periodic timber harvests by the Harvard Forest research program (which is headquartered in Petersham, not here). Trails support hiking, riding, and cross-country skiing.

WebsiteCommon questions
Is this the same Harvard Forest as the one in Petersham?
No. This is a separate, much smaller Harvard College parcel in central Hamilton. It's managed by the same Harvard Forest program, headquartered in Petersham, which is why the name and management chain overlap.
Can I bring my dog to Harvard Forest?
Townwide leash bylaw applies (no place-specific posting found)
Is Harvard Forest wheelchair accessible?
