Raven Ridge Natural Area
The Nature Conservancy’s Raven Ridge Natural Area, Moncton, Vermont has 15 diverse natural communities in its 365 acres. It is described as a “…craggy green oasis perched above a sea of civilization in the Champlain Valley. It remains a place where bobcats, ravens, and federally endangered Indiana bats find seclusion.” “The calcareous cliffs, outcrops and caves, vernal pools, shrub swamps, cattail marshes, seeps, plus streams like Lewis Creek, all offer extraordinary habitat. ” Thank you Lynn McNamara for alerting me to this accessible natural area.

From Green Mountain Club: “Traveling a 935-foot accessible boardwalk to a 0.3-mile-long accessible trail gives you a chance to spot bats, bobcats, and rare plants.”
