Good birding along the trails and also in the brushy meadows. An excellent spot for birds due to plantings, forest and knoll. From Amherst Center, take South Pleasant Street. Turn on Strong Street. Proceed past first entrance and Wildwood Elementary School.
Groups meet at the second entrance at the top of the hill with stone pillars and hemlock grove.
Continue approximately 3 miles. Entrance is on the left off Route 116. Park at the bottom of the hill and walk up or drive to the top. Count on Indigo Buntings singing at the top of the hill. A dramatic view of the Connecticut River, Mount Toby and farmland.
