Westmoreland Sanctuary

Great open parking lot, only a couple boulders that I found - easy to navigate trails and well maintained!

Westmoreland Sanctuary was established in 1957 as a not-for-profit nature center and wildlife preserve with the mission to “acquire, establish and maintain for the free use, enjoyment and appreciation of the public. . . tracts of land, including woodland and streams, as a nature sanctuary . . . to promote nature appreciation, preservation and conservation generally, for the present and future benefit and enjoyment of the public.” Westmoreland also offers a variety of environmental education, conservation and recreational programs and events serving nearly 15,000 visitors every year. Through these facilities and programs Westmoreland encourages a deeper understanding and engagement with nature and our environment.

Access may be revoked if we over-impose or abuse the rules. The primary user group here are hikers and one complaint about climbers might result in loss of access. So with that said, stay on trails, Leave No Trace, and be courteous to hikers. Maintain social distancing, be wary of erosion, minimize landscaping, and park in designated parking areas. Dogs are unfortunately not allowed in this park.
