Stroud Preserve: Welcome!

The Stroud Preserve is a 574-acre mosaic of once-pastured grasslands, working farmlands, and woodlands that serves as a unique site for scientific research, education, and recreation. Here, you can see the needs of people and nature in balance as careful stewardship of both cultivated and "wild" areas restores vital wildlife habitat while also protecting watersheds that provide drinking water for tens-of-thousands of people.
