Marsh, Forest, and So Many Hawks

Greenwich ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Center is located in the coastal ridge and valley system of southwestern Fairfield County. The 686 acres include five parcels of land and its habitats include mixed deciduous forest, red maple/alder/willow/sumac shrub swamp, a small cattail/red maple marsh, mature hemlock/oak forest, old fields, wet meadow, river corridors, lake, ponds, and vernal pools.

The southwestern corner of the property, at 500 feet elevation, is one of the two highest points in Greenwich and serves as the site of the Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch.
