Cathedral Pines Preserve

In 1967, three members of the Calhoun family — Jean C. Bacon, and John and Frank Calhoun — donated the land that comprises the Cathedral Pines Preserve to The Nature Conservancy. Since then, TNC ecologists studied this site to better understand the dynamics of forest succession—the slow process of a forest's regrowth and rejuvenation. 

Today, the preserve is owned by the Cornwall Conservation Trust. Visitors to the preserve are treated to stands of white pine and hemlock trees. Also keep an eye and ear out for woodpeckers among the fallen trees.
