I had been meaning to post this entry to our blog a little closer to the time it actually happened but other projects and work demand my attention!
On June 24th 25 acres of conservation land near the North River was opened to the public. The new conservation land is named the John Little Conservation Area after one of its previous owners. This parcel is one that the NSRWA and partners in conservation have been looking at for some time because of its proximity to other conserved lands along the North River, its size, and its designation as Priority Habitat for Endangered Species by the state. The Marshfield Community Preservation Committee, Open Space Committee, Conservation Commission as well as the Wildlands Trust, the Marshfield voters and the NSRWA each played a role in seeing this parcel protected. The parcel was purchased using Community Preservation Act funds.
If you wish to visit this property for a walk (and I recommend it!) it is located off of Union Street between Oak Street and Corn Hill Lane--there is a small parking area and trails on the property. Enjoy!!
