About this Location

Flora Whiteley Preserve consists of two parcels totaling approximately 14.1 acres. More than 12 acres are owned by the Westerly Land Trust and the balance is managed under a conservation easement. The property has substantial frontage on the Pawcatuck River with extensive marsh and wetlands.

The Preserve also contains uplands with woodlands, exposed ledge, and a seasonal stream that flows to the River. A meadow and knoll overlooking the Pawcatuck River is another great feature of this preserve, offering a portage egress point around the Potter Hill Dam. The property was purchased in two parts in 2005 and 2006.

Trails: A trail system is accessible with easy trails that travel along the river and to an upland meadow area. Limited parking is available.
