The Purchase of Beaver Ledges
After a year and a half the 136 acre property that is now called Beaver Ledges has been purchased by the Haddam Land Trust. It was accomplished through the generous efforts of many people who donated their time and money in order to permanently protect this very special place.
There is still much to do to make the property fully accessible to the public.
Progress on trails, parking and signage will be ongoing in the months ahead.

What is Beaver Ledges?
It is a 130 acre property comprised of rolling hills, beaver ponds, cascading streams, several vernal pools, quiet marshes and dotted with glacial boulders surrounded by protected forest.
The ecological value of this land is immense. The habitat centered around and near the main beaver pond
and marshland is home to a very large and diverse population of flora and fauna. A recent Audubon survey alone counted 40 different bird species on the property.
