This forest features sweeping views of rolling wooded hills and a seasonal stream that flows through the property and into the nearby Housatonic River. Ancient glaciers formed this landscape, leaving behind the dramatic rock outcroppings and boulders you find amidst the trees — predominantly northern red oak, white oak, chestnut oak, red maple, sugar maple, and black cherry. When you purchase a memorial tree in Litchfield Hills, you contribute to the protection of forestland and wildlife habitat that your loved ones can enjoy – now and for years to come.
Better Place Forests Litchfield Hills is a critical piece of a contiguous, undeveloped stretch of land that provides rich habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. The forest also serves as a natural filtration system, collecting and cleansing rainfall before it flows downstream into the Housatonic River. Part of our work involves removing invasive species, thinning and pruning so older trees can thrive, and restoring the land to its natural state.
