Looking for a<br />
Nature Trail?<br />
These <strong>Wellesley</strong> Conservation Land Trust<br />
sanctuaries have walking trails!<br />
Guernsey Sanctuary<br />
Now 25 acres, at one time this land was<br />
part of the fabled Baker Estate with the manmade<br />
Sabrina Lake as a recreational feature.<br />
Guernsey Sanctuary is one of the Woodland<br />
Trails in the <strong>Wellesley</strong> Trail System and the trail<br />
head is located off of Winding River Rd.<br />
Susan Lee Memorial Sanctuary<br />
Given in memory of the mother of Mrs. Allen<br />
N. Bennett, Jr in 1964, this sanctuary consists<br />
of 8 acres divided into two parts by Livingston<br />
Road. The larger part of the sanctuary is to<br />
the east of Livingston Road. The other part lies<br />
between Livingston Road and the Charles River<br />
and provides frontage along the banks of the<br />
river.<br />
Lienau Memorial Sanctuary<br />
The Lienau Memorial Sanctuary is located<br />
in Weston and was purchased in 1974 with<br />
money given in memory of George L. Lienau.<br />
The Town of <strong>Wellesley</strong> wanted to purchase land<br />
owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,<br />
but a small strip of this property was<br />
located in Weston. Since a town may not own<br />
land in another community but a land trust may,<br />
the Land Trust acquired this one-acre strip that<br />
was over <strong>Wellesley</strong>’s border in Weston, allowing<br />
the Carisbrooke Reservation to be added to<br />
the Town’s conservation lands. The Carisbrooke<br />
Reservation Trail is located off of Glen Brook<br />
Road.<br />
Pickle Point<br />
The <strong>Wellesley</strong> Conservation Land Trust purchased<br />
Pickle Point in March 1960 from the<br />
Norumbega Boy Scouts. Pickle Point is a 500 x<br />
50 foot promontory jutting into the northwest<br />
side of Morses Pond just west of Route 9. It is<br />
an esker which is a gravel ridge deposited by a<br />
glacier.<br />
Cronk’s Rocky Woodland<br />
Cronk’s Rocky Woodland was given to the<br />
<strong>Wellesley</strong> Conservation Land Trust (WCLT) in<br />
1977 by Gertrude Cronk in memory of Corydon<br />
P. Cronk. This woodland preserve of native<br />
wildflowers was next to their home at 10<br />
Crown Ridge Road and had been in their possession<br />
for nearly thirty years. Cronk’s Rocky<br />
Woodland is now fenced with a gate at the<br />
entrance on Crown Ridge Road and includes a<br />
rustic cabin and a marked nature trail.<br />
