A roughly 170-acre former working farm on Hubbardston Road protected in a 2016 collaboration between the Princeton Land Trust, Mass Audubon, DCR, and the Town, with historic hayfields on both sides of Route 62, stone walls, and elevated, well-drained terrain studded with large glacial boulders. Ownership is split: Princeton Land Trust holds the road frontage, Mass Audubon owns land north of the property's beaver pond, and DCR's Watershed division holds a separate 123.9-acre conservation restriction over part of the property.

Is Fieldstone Farm a Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuary I can visit like Wachusett Meadow?
Not in the same way. Fieldstone Farm is a jointly protected former working farm without a visitor center or programmed trail system; Mass Audubon owns only part of it (land north of the beaver pond), while Princeton Land Trust holds the road frontage and DCR Watershed holds a conservation restriction over part of the acreage.
