The Frank Stanley Beveridge Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary comprises over 160 acres of managed trails and land along the Little River. The sanctuary contains a wide variety of native trees, wildflowers, ferns, and more. It is also a haven for many area birds and wildlife. Frank Stanley Beveridge was born in Canada on April 17, 1879. In March 1900, having traveled from Pembrooke Shores, near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Frank arrived at Mount Hermon School in Northfield, Massachusetts with only a quarter, a dime and one Canadian dollar bill. He remained at Mount Hermon School for three years. In 1933, Beveridge founded Stanley Home Products, Inc. in Westfield, Massachusetts (The Enesco Group, Inc.) . In 1947, he founded the Frank Stanley Beveridge Foundation, Inc., a trust. In 1949, he established the Stanley Park of Westfield, Inc. on twenty-five acres of land in Westfield, Massachusetts. Today, Stanley Park consists of nearly 300 acres of formal gardens, a carillon tower, trails, sports fields and natural areas, such as the Wildlife Sanctuary.
