Chase Woodlands

Chase Woodlands is a nature reserve in Dover with forest trails that run through New England landscapes, connecting with Peters Reservation across Farm Street. The property features an interconnected network of paths through different forest types and habitats.

Trustees of Reservations acquired the woodland property in 1993, converting it from agricultural land into a protected natural area. This transformation allowed the forest landscape to be preserved for future generations.

The woodland paths serve as a learning space where local schools conduct environmental studies and nature observation throughout the year. Residents use the trails to connect with the natural life of the region.

Trail maps are available at the entrance and clearly mark the woodland paths, with designated parking near the Farm Street entrance. It helps to wear sturdy shoes and account for forest floor conditions, especially after rain.

The Charles River Link Trail creates a continuous natural corridor through Chase Woodlands and Peters Reservation, allowing wildlife to move between habitats. This connected corridor matters greatly for the animals living in the region.
