In 2000, the Higgins Mountain Preserve was donated to the Land Tust. This preserve provides stunning views of the coast from atop the bedrock outcrops of the mountain. A short loop trail leads from a small parking lot on the west side of Rt.127 and winds through the forest to the rocky summit.

Broom crowberry, a low growing shrub, is found in the shallow soils between rocky outcrops at the summit. In the summer of 2004 a wildfire burned two acres at the top of the mountain. Land Trust volunteers are closely watching the recovery of the vegitation.
