The 178-acre Fremont conservation land on Old Jaffrey Road is a magnet for humans and wildlife. Entries in the trail log book give a sense of both–whether the Rivermead walking group, neighbors, a preschool outing, visitors from afar, or Peterborough Elementary field trippers reporting on wildlife signs (including bear markings on a pole to the left of the trail as it crosses a power line).

The back forested acreage was conserved through a state grant secured by neighbor Duffy Monahon who knew the land well, and the front field through Conservation Commission fundraising with generous assistance from neighbors.
