The GRTA preserves, protects, and promotes open space,
historical trails and the tradition of horseback riding for our community and future generations.
Come enjoy our Nichols Nature Preserve, a 94-acre property with meadows, forests, ponds and swamps. Here, volunteer conservationists have ongoing projects that help some endangered insect pollinators and a variety of bird populations. This diverse and beautiful property is open to all nature enthusiasts for walking, horseback riding, fishing, jogging, bird watching, cross-country skiing etc. Dogs must be leashed at all times, as they scare horses, making it dangerous for riders.

We now have 4 new hives at Nichols. Jamie Kimball, who works with Ellen Zampino at Bee Commerce, is setting up these hives on the ridge before the big meadow. We are delighted to have more hives and will keep you posted on their progress.
