About this Location

Upper Valley Land Trust’s newest conservation area, Up on the Hill, stretches from Morningside Lane in Charlestown to Sawyers Brook in Unity, with the most northeasterly portion of the property located in southwest Claremont. It is mostly forested with high-quality timber stands. There are several large hayfields, wetlands, streams, and several vernal pools that serve as habitats for wildlife and birds.

A large breached beaver pond lies in the northern portion of the property and a perennial stream flows towards the Little Sugar River. Sawyer Brook flows through the southeastern portion of the property. Nearly half of the property has been ranked as the highest quality habitat in the region by the New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan.
