Special Features
The Lawrence Wildlife Preserve abuts
the Hill Roberts Elementary School site in South Attleboro. The property
is accessible from the end of Hope Avenue, which runs off Newport Avenue
across from the South Attleboro American Legion. The Seven Mile River,
flowing out of Orrs Pond, runs right through the middle of the parcel,
then joins with the Ten Mile River. Because most of this property is
wetlands, human use has been limited, and birds make the property a
sanctuary. Osprey have been sighted here.
