Old field habitats and riparian areas along Broad Brook make this property an excellent place for birding, butterfly-watching, and other wildlife-viewing activities.

Southampton Wildlife Management Area (WMA) consists of forests and fields and lies in the relatively flat plain of Broad Brook. The upland forest consists of central hardwoods of oak and hickory intermixed with softwoods of white and pitch pine. Over 60 acres of varying-sized fields in different stages of succession are spread throughout the WMA.

The property can be accessed from Cook Road and Mountain Road. A gravel parking area for 3 cars is located on Cook Rd. Parking areas are not maintained in the winter.

Open areas are managed for old field habitat and early successional or young forested habitat to benefit numerous game and non-game species. Two nesting boxes for American Kestrels have been placed to help this species of conservation concern.
