Schaefer Property, Bloomfield

Donated December 2001, 48 acres, Parcel 1 and 2 at 91 Duncaster Road
The largest property held by the WLT, this preserve is rich with diversity. This property offers a mix of rolling terrain with hardwood forests, seasonal wetland, and small ponds in the lowland pockets. Most of the property is dense forest and thick brush, creating ideal habitat for upland game such as beaver, bobcat, wild turkey, fox, and deer. This property is also unique because it forms part of the Bloomfield Divide between the ‘Park River Basin’ flowing to the south and the’ Farmington River Basin’ that flows to the north. The lowland sections of this parcel also contribute to the ‘Great Drain’ wetlands.
