This property is contiguous to the Bassett Preserve and features hiking trails developed by Gerry Ivers (for whom it is named), a founder of the Southbury Land Trust, who is well known for his trail-blazing skills. The 67 acres of this woodland preserve were deeded to the Land Trust in 1994 by the Connecticut Legislature. An additional 8.1-acre open space set-aside was granted by the Town of Southbury thereby increasing the preserve to its present 74.8 acres. The property has some steep slopes, a vernal pool and wetlands.
Owned and managed by the Southbury Land Trust. More info at 203-264-4441, admin@southburylandtrust.org or www.southburylandtrust.org.
