Sand Creek Farm is adjacent to Russell Creek and Sand Creek. Conservation of this property keeps the vegetative buffers between creeks and potential sources of pollution intact, while providing scenic views from Highway 174. Habitats include saltmarsh, maritime forest and bottomland hardwood forests. Each habitat is home to a diverse array of native birds and mammals. The property’s size and location next to other conserved properties provides a large area of unfragmented wildlife habitat. It’s also the site of our annual oyster roast!
