The Boston Land has been saved!

In 2020, the Great Works Regional Land Trust successfully raised enough funds to purchase a piece of undeveloped land, the Old Boston Farm. This 157 acre tract will be protected as a preserve and also connects with the Hilton-Winn Preserve and land Mount Agamenticus for a larger area of conservation. Next steps for this project include establishing building trails and visitor access.
