Review & FAQ:

The initial 153 acres of land for the reserve were donated by the Charles Ward's widow in 1940. The family have subsequently donated parcels of land, bringing the total to 704 acres. Thirteen miles of trails link three major hills. There are also 17 miles of stone walls. The terrain is diverse and incorporates creeks, wetlands and swamps. Plant life peculiar to the swamps, such as orchids and the insect-eating pitcher plant, can be seen.
