Mount Pisgah

• Location: Mount Pisgah Conservation Area, Northborough/Berlin, MA
• Owner: Sudbury Valley Trustees
• Highlights: A flat walk to North View, a directional vista east toward Boston, which may be visible on a clear day.
• Description: The property was once farmland and the Mentzer and Sparrow trails are named after dairy farmers. More than 30 different species of trees have been identified on the land. The land is part of a wildlife corridor that stretches to New Hampshire. Thus, bobcat, moose and black have been seen on the property. Mount Pisgah is made of bedrock and a layer of glacial till.
