Red Brook Wildlife Management Area (WMA) consists of a mix of upland and wetland habitats along the Red Brook corridor in the towns of Plymouth and Wareham. The forest is made up of pitch pine, white pine, red and black oak, scrub oak, huckleberry, blueberry, red maple, sweet pepperbush riparian swamp, and open former cranberry agricultural land. Between this WMA and the abutting, downstream Lyman Reserve (owned by the Trustees of Reservations), the entire length of Red Brook, a critically important coldwater stream and herring run, is protected from its headwaters at White Island Pond to Buttermilk Bay.

A large gravel parking area exists on the east side of Barker Road in Wareham at approximately 265 Barker Road, adjacent to the former cranberry bog foreman house and barn (now owned and managed by MassWildlife). There is space for about 20 vehicles. Users can walk into the property and across the former cranberry bog roads to access the WMA.

Ongoing work is being done to restore the former cranberry bogs into their natural habitat. Work is also being done to create a new naturalized stream channel for Red Brook through the former bog complex. This channel work also includes efforts to ensure herring passage to and from White Island Pond from Buttermilk Bay.
