The protected 72-acre property is a diverse habitat of open fields, upland forest, and a large wetlands system supporting rare species of plants.   The wetland area is associated with and connected to the town-owned Scott Brook Preserve to the north. Historically, this was cultivated under the name of Baskin Farms.   An additional 12 acres of the farm is privately owned and has a historic barn. At 186 Scott Road is the Outdoor Environmental Education Center (OEEC) with ample parking for either the trails or events. A Blue Bird Meadow of several acres can be found along the trails in an open historic farm field. This is a great observation area for bird watchers.  

Several parcels of land make up this 268-acre preserve. Some are owned by the Cumberland Land Trust and others by the Town of Cumberland. The land is gently rolling with ridges affording views, trails through open woods and wetlands, and a meadow with benches for observing bluebirds (on the Bluebird Trail). A high-tension power line bisects the area. Some parts of this area were farmed until the 1970s.
