At roughly 235 acres, Woodland Views is nestled amongst the foothills of the Monadnock Region. Dominated by forests, this property also supports vernal pools, perennial stream, forested wetlands, early successional and shrubland habitat, over 6 acres of pollinator meadows, a reclaimed apple orchard for wildlife, and nearly 1 mile of pristine frontage along a small, quiet pond. Our ecological inventories have documented hundreds of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, mushrooms, and insects. Woodland View’s biodiversity includes over 30 species of conservation concern, as well as significant habitats and natural communities among other ecological features.

Moosewood Ecological began its ecological monitoring and land management in 2014. Using the landowners’ vision and stewardship ethics as the basis for project design and implementation, we sprang into action. This vision propelled Woodland Views forward to promote sustainable land management while enhancing ecological integrity, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Since our tenure, Moosewood Ecological has incorporated these monitoring efforts into every land management decision. While these improvements consider biodiversity as a whole, we emphasize activities with respect to the benefit for species of greatest conservation concern. 

Moosewood Ecological has assisted the landowners in acquiring funds for various projects. Through its Pollinator Initiative Project, the Cheshire County Conservation District provided financial assistance for a 1-acre pollinator meadow. This project inspired the landowners to install an additional 5+ acres. The USDA Natural Resources Service provided financial assistance for planning and implementation projects, including a forest management plan, pollinator habitat enhancement, timber stand improvements, wildlife openings, invasive species management, apple tree release, bird nest boxes, early successional habitat, and waterfowl habitat enhancement.
