Hubbardton Battlefield Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is 254.5-acre parcel of land owned by the State of Vermont and managed by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. It is located in East Hubbardton, about 7 miles north of Route 4. The WMA is on the east side of Monument Hill Road adjacent to Hubbardton Battlefield, one of the State Historic Sites, which is administered by the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation.
Hubbardton Battlefield WMA consists of a series of ridges and open fields. The ridges, including the famous Pittsford Ridge, are covered with a mix of red oak, red and sugar maple, and hophornbeam. These ridges offer visitors the chance to view something different at the crest of each, such as a scenic vista or a flock of turkeys.
Yellow birch, beech and hickory are also found on the WMA. At the height of land, a wetland forms a bowl that provides habitat for amphibians. A small vernal pool located on top of the ridge is vital to some species of amphibians.
In the lower elevations, old fields have an abundance of apple trees, which are maintained as a food supply for wildlife. White pines are slowly encroaching, and management activities are directed at keeping the fields semi-open. In addition to the apple trees, oak and the occasional beech trees in the area provide an important source of food for many species of wildlife. Hophornbeam drops its seeds later in the year in November and December, providing turkeys with much-needed provisions when other foods are less abundant.
