Weir Hill

[2] In the mid 17th century, early settlers cleared the slopes of Weir Hill for grazing sheep and cattle.

Many North Andover residents also use the trail system for cross-country, mountain biking, and its shores to go swimming.

Generations of agricultural use, wildfire, cutting and mowing have created a patchwork landscape on Weir Hill that supports ten different types of plant communities including a 60-acre (240,000 m2) oak and hickory, hillside seeps, intermittent streams, and wet meadows.

Several threatened species can be found on Weir Hill, including the white bog orchid, violet bush clover and butternut trees.

Beginning with the park's establishment in 1968, Weir Hill has been expanded numerous times since to include more woodlands and conservation area.
