Drury Preserve is the first Nature Conservancy preserve in the southern Berkshires, it was created in 1997 to honor the donation of 65 acres in 1984 by Roger and Virgina Drury. Three miles of hiking passes through northern hardwoods and bends around unique cobbles and passes by the fields of Moon in the Pond Farm. Past the farm the trail transitions onto a 600′ boardwalk and goes over bridges as it passes through forested wetlands and streams. The trail leads out to a ponded section of Schenob Brook where great blue herons, kingfishers and other wetland  birds can be seen. Some unique features to keep an eye out for are limestone sink holes, an old quarry, and the remnants of the stone foundation of Captain Barnum’s house. Great views of Race Mountain await you, a hidden gem!
