About the Land

The Mount Pisgah area comprises several pieces of conservation land. The two central properties are managed by the conservation commissions in the towns of Berlin and Northborough. To the south is Mass Dept. of Fish & Game property. To the north and east are several properties on which SVT either holds or co-holds a conservation restriction (CR).

The Linden Street access point at the Devine CR offers sweeping views across the hay fields to the rising woodlands of Mount Pisgah. Mount Pisgah itself features an extensive trail system with lookout points that offer beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
