The Al Retelle Conservation Area, named after local conservationist Albert R. Retelle, spans 64 acres in Andover, Massachusetts, and features a diverse range of habitats that support critical wildlife biodiversity. The area includes grasslands, wetlands, mature woodlands, and early successional habitats, providing essential environments for various species, including the chestnut-sided warbler and the New England cottontail.

Historically significant, the land was once inhabited by the Pennacook people before European colonization led to agricultural development, which has since reverted to natural succession. Today, the reservation offers public access for non-motorized recreational activities such as hiking, trail running, skiing, and birdwatching, with riverfront access connecting to the adjacent AVIS Deer Jump Reservation.
