The Piscataquog Land Conservancy is working to acquire an undeveloped thirty-acre property along the Middle Branch of the Piscataquog River in New Boston. The current owners are preparing to sell their house and land, but they have agreed to first divide the western thirty acres from the forested property and sell it at a discount to PLC. Located off of Middle Branch Road, the land abuts our 55-acre George Thomas Wildlife Sanctuary, and is also close to PLC’s Tuthill Woodlands Preserve and town forest land.  

Continuing the partnership that began with 2017’s Nissitissit land conservation project, PLC and the Town of Brookline are working to place a conservation easement on 439 acres of existing town conservation land known as Hobart-Fessenden Woods. The land directly abuts property owned by the Beaver Brook Association north of Route 130. Combined, the Hobart-Fessenden and Beaver Brook lands comprise over a thousand acres unbroken by roads or development.
