PARKMAN HILL FARM

SOLON

Somerset Woods Trustees is pleased to announce our newest conservation property, Parkman Hill Farm in Solon.

Featuring 650 acres of field and forest on Parkman Hill Road, the farm for decades has been managed for its wildlife, birds and pollinators.  The long-time landowner, who wishes to remain anonymous, gifted the property to Somerset Woods in January to assure her tradition of good stewardship continues for the benefit of nature and the Solon community.

“We are honored to be selected as the new stewards of this tremendous property.  We are excited to settle in, explore every acre and solicit input from our community as we develop a home for Somerset Woods,” said Jennifer Brockway, executive director.  

This summer the farmhouse will provide housing for our seasonal interns. Longer term, our preliminary plans include developing the space for public events, programming and staff offices.  When the weather warms, open houses will provide an opportunity for the community and Somerset Woods members to join with us in envisioning the future of Parkman Hill Farm.

We look forward to sharing more about this transformational project in the coming months.  Members can expect to learn more in our upcoming membership newsletter.  In the meantime, please direct questions, concerns and celebrations to Jennifer via email or 207.679.7306.
