Battle Swamp Brook Preserve & Raven Rock Preserve

Tucked in along scenic Judd’s Bridge Road, a dirt road that runs along the Shepaug River, Battle Swamp Brook Preserve was established in 1987 with a gift from Ethan Allen. A decade later, the Roxbury Land Trust was able to extend the preserve by 18.5 acres with gifts from Robinson Lacy, John F.P. Lamb, James Taylor, Jeffrey Tindell, and James H. Worth. Rod Thorne gifted the adjoining 20-acre Raven Rock Preserve to the land trust in 1990.
