A rare combination of sand plain communities converge at the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest. Located in the middle of Martha's Vineyard, this 5,300-acre preserve contains grasslands, barrens, and woodlands. It is home to a variety of plants and wildlife, and was originally used as a preserve for the endangered Heath Hen until the species died out in 1932.

Today, Correllus State Forest is still dedicated to the conservation and restoration of the area's native ecosystem. Hiking, cycling, and horseback riding are available on the forest's 14 miles of trails, and cross-country skiing is available in the winter.
