Chestnut Hill Farm is a Trustees property in Southborough which offers a wonderful environment of farm fields and a grassland area as well as some forest paths. They regularly get Bobolinks, Indigo Buntings, Swallows, Savannah Sparrows and Kestrels — with many other possibilities. These grassland nesting birds require open fields for nesting.
