Watch and listen for warblers in the spring.

Ferry Hill Thicket is 6 acres of Marshfield Conservation land with a trail through mixed forest and wetlands. An oasis for migrating birds. Located diagonally across the street from Ferry Hill Center.

A great spot for birders. These 6 acres of Marshfield Conservation land are tucked into a valley between two residential areas. This property was one of the very first to be acquired by the Town of Marshfield as conservation land, in 1966.

The recently-groomed trail (2020) is short, not even a half-mile. It provides a pedestrian connection between Ferry Hill Road and Peabody Road. You’ll find the trailhead just past, and across the street, from Ferry Hill Center.

Within this tiny property, you’ll find maple, holly, cedar, oak, and birch, plus some really large pine trees and lots of greenbrier. There is a small stream with wetlands around it.
