Mill River Preserve

Featuring a diverse mix of wetlands, forest, and meadow habitats, Mill River Preserve is located within a watershed that supplies drinking water to local communities, adding further conservation value to this ecologically important land.

The preserve’s distinctive landscape is made up of maple and oak forest, a large wetland, river, and ponds that create essential habitat for local wildlife. Mill River Preserve is accessible and connected by a trail from the neighboring 370-acre Leon Levy Preserve, which is owned by the Town of Lewisboro and protected with a WLT conservation easement.

Originally donated in 2018 by a local developer, this land is cared for by WLT and is now accessible as part of the organization’s commitment to land conservation and public enjoyment. WLT worked closely with the Town of Lewisboro and many dedicated volunteers to create the trail at this preserve.
