About this Location

Sen Ki, or “Land of Stone”, contains almost 30 acres of substantial forest, meadow, and wetlands, and a relatively natural habitat of wildlife and plants.

Neighbors and concerned preservationists in town worked persistently for 10+ years to ultimately protect this property. Ellen and Duncan McFarland purchased Holbrook Farm, donated a conservation restriction to Westwood Land Trust, and generously donated the property to Hale Reservation in 2011. Hale Reservation maintains the property as specified by the conservation restriction. The protection of this property extends an area of forested and natural land, including the adjacent 33-acre Perry property also protected by a conservation restriction, and further through to Hale Reservation.

Notable Trails

The property includes 1.2 miles of hiking trails that provide scenic views from one of the higher elevations in Westwood. These trails form a link connecting conservation and recreational land, and access and hiking trails, from the Dover border through to High Street and beyond to Buckmaster Pond preventing habitat fragmentation.

Shorter hiking loops specifically designed with young children in mind are available. Dogs are not permitted on the property for small children to always feel safe. Westwood Land Trust hosts a Hike for Young Families on these trails each year.

The AllTrails website has a description and map of a hike at Sen Ki-Hale Reservation.
