The Twin Oaks field was bought by the Sharon Land Trust in 1998, after it was threatened with development. The hill held two oaks that had graced the landscape since before the American Revolution. In 2013, shortly after Hurricane Sandy, the first oak fell, and its twin followed later that fall. The SLT planted two 28-foot white oaks in the field in hopes they would serve as a memorial to its rich history, and the Millbrook Garden Club donated entrance gate sculptures by artist Brenda Hall that had been crafted out of the fallen trees. A favorite among dog owners, the preserve features a 1-mile perimeter loop trail around the field, offering outstanding views of Red Mountain and its foothills. Several tribute benches have been installed, making it a prime spot to bring a picnic and savor the view to the east.
