Holt Preserve

Winifred Matthews Holt Preserve is a 148-acre property on the western face of Copeland Hill in the Town of New Scotland. The preserve is visible from Route 32 and from neighboring hills. The preserve rises at the edge of the flat area known as Indian Fields. Dr. William Holt and Winifred Matthews Holt donated this hillside to the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy in 1994.

On Saturday, I walked around the Speculator Tree Farm, hiking 13 miles on dirt roads. While nothing that remarkable, these roads were quiet and there was much wildlife to see in these managed timberlands.
