Potter Meadow Preserve

Potter Meadow in Columbia, Connecticut, was given to Joshua’s Trust by Whitehall Properties in 1988. This 34-acre land trust preserve lies entirely within the floodplain of the Willimantic and Ten Mile Rivers. Potter Meadow was owned by the Buckinghams, who were conservators to Uncas, father of Joshua. Starting in the 1830s, the Potter family used it as pastureland. Today, as a nature preserve, it provides excellent wetland and riparian habitat that lends itself to wildlife observation and birding.
