Shortwoods Preserve

New Fairfield/Shortwoods Road

Location: 90 Shortwoods Road
Donor: Edward Ashe, 2/2005
Size: 2 acres
Dominant Habitat: forestland

Unique site attributes:  This property was donated by when the owner had moved out of state. He had not been able to sell it for development and offered it to the Land Trust for donation. Although it is a small parcel of forested land, it abuts the Pootatuck State Forest and gave additional roadside access.
