Situated alongside Bean Road in Moultonborough, the Unsworth Preserve, and the neighboring Koenig Preserve, offers a beautiful and accessible example of wetland habitat. The pond is a vital feature of the area because of its significance in helping to filter and store water but also provides an ideal habitat for aquatic mammals and birds and many other resident wildlife species. Signs of bear, beaver, raccoon, moose, deer, bobcat, fisher, mink, coyote, and porcupine have all been found.

This pond is a magnet for waterfowl. The unique arrangement of small islands, peninsulas, ismuths, and abundance of aquatic vegetation paired with the shallow depth of the water is ideal for wading birds (great blue heron), dabbling and diving ducks (mallard, wood duck, ring-necked duck, etc.), aerial divers (osprey, eagle, and kingfisher), and migratory songbirds that nest in the shrubby vegetation on the banks. This property is always a buzz of activity, so we ask that you please keep your dogs on leashes so as not to disturb nesting waterfowl and other wildlife.
