John Forbes Thompson donated this property on Cameron Lake to the Nature Trust in 2012, just before his death. His desire to see the property kept wild is ensured by the Nature Trust’s ownership and management. This peninsular property with extensive shoreline hosts rare plants, whose habitat elsewhere is rapidly diminishing, but rare Atlantic Coastal Plain Flora species including Redroot, Northeastern Bladderwort, Buttonbush, and Virginia Meadow Beauty continue to survive on the property’s lakeshore. These shores may also be used by Eastern Ribbonsnake, a nationally threatened snake. They too have also suffered habitat loss across their range, but are not in danger of this threat at this protected area.

Access to this property by land is not possible without permission from the Nature Trust, since the road to the property passes through other privately-owned properties. This property is across the lake from the Nature Trust’s Cameron Lake Conservation Lands.
