Property Info

Martin Reach is located at the north end of the Go Home Bay community. The property has an extensive shoreline supporting a network of wetlands, some of which extend inland via sheltered bays. Vegetation types change with water level fluctuations and species diversity is high, including emergent, floating and submergent plants. Some portions of the wetland support a large population of a provincially rare, Atlantic coastal disjunct species, Carolina Yellow-eyed Grass (Xyris difformis). The upland habitat is a mosaic of exposed barrens with scattered shrub cover, including Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and open White Pine-Red Oak-Red Maple forest. The forest community is known to support hawk nesting.
