IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0LAND CONSERVATION AND OUTREACH - THE TRUST ACQUIRES OR FACILITATES ACQUISITION OF LAND IN STOW, MA, TO PRESERVE IT AS OPEN SPACE. TRUST MEMBERS WORK WITH LAND OWNERS, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND OTHER LAND TRUSTS TO PROVIDE EXPERTISE IN PLANNING, ORGANIZING, AND PRESENTING CASES FOR FUTURE LAND ACQUISITIONS OR CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS. THIS YEAR THE TRUST KICKED OFF OUR SAVE STOW'S FARMS INITIATIVE WITH A BID TO SAVE TWO LOCAL FARMS FROM DEVELOPMENT, CARVER HILL ORCHARDS, AND SMALL FARM. OUR LAND PROTECTION SPECIALISTS WORKED WITH THE LANDOWNERS AND STOW TOWN OFFICIALS TO CONSTRUCT A DEAL FOR CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS ON BOTH PROPERTIES, WHICH WERE ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTED IN THE MAY TOWN MEETING. FUNDRAISING TO COMPLETE THE PROJECTS IS ONGOING.
