Wenlock Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is a 1,993-acre parcel of land owned by the State of Vermont and managed by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. The WMA is located in the town of Ferdinand. Primary access from the north is provided by Route 105 (which parallels the Nulhegan River), and from the south and east by South America Pond Road. Wenlock WMA is 7.5 miles east and 8.5 miles west of the villages of Island Pond and Bloomfield, respectively. There is a parking area on Route 105. Another parking area is located just south of Route 105 on South America Pond Road. The gate on South America Pond Road is closed during mud season. Visitors can also approach from the south via South America Pond Road. The general character of the Wenlock WMA is boreal. The WMA lies at the southern edge of a vast basin drained by the main stem and four branches of the Nulhegan River. The northern portion of the WMA is fairly level and forested mainly with spruce and fir. It includes extensive wetlands. Elevations on the WMA are from 1,140 to 1,200 feet, with a few hardwood knolls and ridges rising to more than 1,400 feet. The WMA is part of the largest deer wintering area in the State. The “Nulhegan Wintering Area” is a 15,000-acre softwood basin used by wintering white-tailed deer. Deer gather there from about 202 square miles of summer range. Approximately 1,000 acres of Wenlock WMA are spruce- fir-cedar forests and associated hardwood forests that provide the deer with critical wintering habitat. The WMA also encompasses Moose Bog, which has been designed a “Fragile Area” by the State of Vermont.
