Sheehan Trial

The Richard and Jane Sheehan Nature Preserve was gifted to the Natural Resources Trust of Mansfield in 2024, by the Sheehan’s.  It contains 23 wooded acres with a stream. The entrance is on the road to the Mansfield Animal Shelter, off Fruit Street.

There is one main trail with a short cutoff. The trail is suitable for light to moderate walking.

GRlT all-terrain freedom chairs

Do you have difficulty navigating trails?

GRIT all-terrain Freedom Chairs are available to borrow from the Mansfield Public Library’s “Library of Things.” These innovative chairs can be self-propelled with your arms or pushed by someone else, making it easier to navigate uneven topography. Thanks to a partial grant from the town’s Non-Profit Gift Fund, the Natural Resources Trust of Mansfield purchased and donated one adult and one child’s chair to help more people enjoy the town’s beautiful nature trails. Use the QR code to learn more about the chairs.
