Nina
Nielsen and John Baker at the entrance to their barn on Estabrook
Road |
On
a sunny Sunday, June 10, 2001, more than 40 members of the Carlisle
Conservation Foundation gathered at the wonderfully restored Nielsen/Baker
barn to celebrate its 41st annual meeting. One of the highlights
of the meeting was the announcement by Ken Harte that Nina Nielsen
and John Baker had placed a permanent conservation restriction on
10 acres of property, most of it being in Concord. Critical to Carlisle’s
access to the Estabrook Woods is the donated right of passage on
the north end of the trail, which the town had made a discontinued
road. The restriction also conserves
as open space a buildable lot at the trail head. The conservation
restriction is held by the Trustees of Reservations and becomes
part of the greater Estabrook Woods.
