The forest is managed for wildlife habitat and passive recreational activities.

It contains two areas of special ecological importance: Sandy Brook Natural Area Preserve and Kitchel Wilderness Natural Area Preserve, the later donated by Helen Binney Kitchel in 1961,[4] both protected as Forever Wild by state statute.
