History
Joseph and Elsa Hayes made a gift of this 46-acre parcel to the Groton Conservation Trust in 1994. We are all indebted to them for sharing this beautiful place with us.
Description
The Hayes Woods parcel has an extensive trail network that connects to other open land. It includes glacial terrain including kettles, wetlands, and nature trail. There are several points at which views are available. The property serves as a sanctuary for plants and animals and contains a variety of important habitats. Maintenance of these habitats and refuges is a critical goal.
