Donated to CWH in 2000 by the White and Bennett families, Barnstable is the Eastern Shore’s largest private, actively managed wildlife sanctuary. We restored more than 155 acres of habitat on the 540-acre waterfront farm, often using the Conservation Reserve Program or Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). Crops are grown here using sustainable agricultural techniques without any insecticides or fungicides (we do not use treated seeds). This map shows the CREP buffers and wetlands at Barnstable Hill Farm on Kent Island.
