The North Shore Preserve is among the most visited of NHCP's properties. The two units of the Preserve, on either side of North Shore Road, offer a wide diversity of landscape- from the coastline, through fields and forests, to freshwater wetlands that protect and feed the Charlie Brown’s Pond Watershed.
