 Dear Friends,
We hope you have been able to visit and enjoy Carlisle’s natural spaces in
meaningful ways this year. In addition to coordinating the outreach activities
highlighted in this card, CCF continues its core mission of working, often
behind the scenes, to preserve the rural character and natural beauty of Carlisle.
Since its founding in 1960, CCF has played a major role in the permanent
preservation of more than two thousand acres of land in our town—for
agriculture, critical habitat, watershed protection, trails, and scenic vistas,
including another 55+ acres this past year.
The pandemic and the limits it has placed on human interaction have
demonstrated the vital importance of Carlisle’s open spaces. We invite you
to join in our preservation and education work and give generously to CCF.
Sincerely,
Kelly Guarino, President

limiting group activities, CCF
again partnered with the Trails
Committee to host a week-long “Community Trails Day” to
encourage Carlisleans of all ages
and their friends to get out in
nature for a welcome respite from
the months of virtual isolation.
Trail Marker Bingo added to the fun.
Right, In celebration of its 60th
Anniversary in 2020, CCF
is sponsoring an art exhibition
to be held October- December 2022, at the
Gleason Public Library. All

inspired by Carlisle's Open Spaces, including any of the CCF-owned properties and
