Land Management
|
|
 With
money from a grant by the Fields Pond Foundation, CCF has contracted
with Frances Clark of Carex Associates to draw up a management plan
for Spencer Brook Reservation. The plan will include descriptions
and plant lists for the different community types: field, successional
edges, mature deciduous forest, wet meadow/shrub swamp, and red
maple swamp and marsh.
The 31.5
acres of conservation land is accessed by a trail from South Street,
just beyond the corner of West Street.

Community
Preservation Act
|
With
the passage of the Massachusetts Community Preservation Act, Carlisle
now has the opportunity to establish a funding mechanism for the
acquisition of open space, historic sites, land for recreation
and community housing. The Carlisle Conservation Foundation looks
forward to working with town groups on programs which simultaneously
provide for recreation facilities, affordable housing and open
space.
If approved
by voters at town meeting and then at a town- wide election, a
surcharge would be added to real estate taxes and all funds collected
would be matched by funds from the state. Since this legislation
will be on the town warrant and ballot next spring, we urge all
residents to participate in any upcoming discussions held by town
boards and the selectmen.
