 Chase Kimball and Mary Lee Evans Kimball Memorial Forest
Pomfret, CT /167 acres
- This property was given to NEFF in 1996 as a gift from the wills of Chase
Kimball (1902-1977) and Mary Lee Evans Kimball (1911-1989). The land was
purchased by the Kimballs in 1965 to protect their adjacent land, which remains
in the family and has been in the Chase and Kimball families since 1814. The
forest consists of a variety of oaks with pine, hemlock and other hardwoods
mixed throughout. Passive recreation is allowed. According to the wishes of
the donors, no hunting or trapping (except fox hunting on horseback) is allowed
on the property.

- Horace B. Clark Woods
East Hartland, CT /432 acres
- This abandoned farmland in East Hartland, CT was donated in 1984 by Mrs. Elinor W. Toop in memory of her uncle, Horace B. Clark. The parcel, which is adjacent to the Tunxis State Park, became NEFF's first Foundation Forest in Connecticut. The diverse forest of large white pine and mixed hardwood has been carefully thinned several times. The resulting growth of lush understory vegetation has created a superb wildlife area.
