Protection on 26 acres preserving agricultural land, scenic views, open space, wildlife habitat, forest, and historic values.

In considering a conservation easement on his property, one of John's wishes was to ensure that his farmland would remain available for farming in the future. The conservation easement will allow John and future owners of the land to use the 15-acre hayfield for a wide variety of agricultural activities, including growing hay, alfalfa, garden crops or raising cattle. Flexibility in permitted farming uses will allow John to determine how best to utilize the land, while maintaining it as farmland. A portioin of the property adjacent to the fields will remain unencumbered by the easement, permitting John and future owners to alter thhe home and farm related structures as they see fit.
