About Priscilla Otte Preserve

The Priscilla Otte Preserve is a conservation property managed by the Guilford Land Conservation Trust in Guilford, Connecticut. Locally many people know it as the Fowler Farm. The land combines 16 acres that came to the trust through a 1999 subdivision with another 16 acres bought in 2005 from Priscilla Fowler Otte at a price below market. The site includes hayfields, wet meadows, woodlands, a cave-like structure, and a running stream. Visitors reach it by a trust-owned right of way and park at the top of the field. A simple trail system starts along the field's edge. Dogs must stay off leash only if leashed, since the fields are managed for wildlife, and unleashed dogs are not allowed.
