Lansing Bennett Forest

You might know this 344-acre Duxbury Conservation parcel by its old name, Trout Farm. It was renamed to honor the late Dr. Lansing Bennett, who chaired the Conservation Commission for a decade and helped shape the town's greenbelt plan. In earlier days the land was home to a box mill and later a trout farm, and today Phillips Brook, a tributary of the South River, runs through the eastern side of the property. There are several intersecting trails through the woods, some with steep sections, plus the occasional boardwalk and footbridge.
