About Roberts Farm
Roberts Farm is a 212 acre preserve in Norway that is owned by Western Foothills Land Trust. It's an amazing year-round recreation resource for the community with over 7 miles of trails and groomed cross country ski trails in the winter.
​
The Oxford Hills School District has utilized this space in different ways over the years to support experiential education, outdoor learning adventures, and connections to gardens and growing food. Our school year programs are focused on targeting 5th grade classes across MSAD 17. As we head into the 2024-2025 school year, we are excited to expand our work to reach 3rd and 4th grade classes in MSAD 17!
