The Norton Memorial Forest was given to the New England Forestry Foundation in 1975 by Professor and Mrs. Frederick H. Norton of Gloucester. This actively managed land, consisting mostly of plantings of pine, received an award from the American Forest Institute as the Outstanding Tree Farm of Massachusetts. The property abuts Dogtown, the largest area of open space on Cape Ann, and is a popular area for hiking.
