Save– The Sheep Farm has a diverse habitat including rocky outcroppings, glacial erratics, bluestem meadows, deep forest interior habitat, forest edge habitat, early successional forests, extensive wetlands, seeps, shrub swamps, a string of Tier 1 vernal pools, Class A stream- Fort Hill Brook, and two waterfalls.
– A portion of the ancient Avalonia Shield on the Sheep Farm features six high rocky ledges and many smaller ones, ridge lines, south-facing cliffs, and outcroppings. Glacial activity is apparent on the scarred rock faces and in the form of large erratic boulders.
– Colonial stonewalls and stone heaps still mark the boundaries found on a 1754 deed.
– Wooded swamps and seeps provide stormwater filtration and flood control for vulnerable areas downstream.
– Overland and underground water flow to the Groton Utility terminal reservoir system and drinking water wells.
– Fort Hill Brook flows into Mumford Cove and Long Island Sound.
– “The Sheep Farm vernal pools are unique in that the amphibians breed abundantly in streamside pools filed by flood waters.” “This reach of Fort Hill Brook maybe fish free …because both the highway and the waterfall are fish barriers.” Sigrun Gadwa, biologist, and soil scientist.
– There are two unique stone vernal pools. The entire site provides upland habitat, critical to the survival of the vernal pool species from both sides of the property boundaries.
