East side, West side, All around Carlisle
|
|
 On
the East side of town, the major acquisition programs of the 1994
Open Space and Recreation Plan (OS&R) have been achieved with the
transfer of the O’Rourke Farm to the Great Meadows Wildlife Refuge
and with the completion of the Estabrook Woods campaign. Permanently
restricted open land now extends from Billerica to Concord. On the
North side the Wang-Coombs cornfields on Curve ‘Street have been
added to the state park and the cranberry bog. On the northwest
side we enjoy Carlisle Pines and other conservation land totaling
more than 50 acres.
|
Now
it is time for the West side, specifically to “Create a Western
Corridor from the Chelmsford border to the Concord line” by providing
“...large conservation area in the under-served southwest sector”
(OS&R Plan). CCF/CLT is working in partnership with the town and
landowners to maintain much of the farmland and undeveloped woodlands
in this part of town. CCF will assist owners in placing conservation
restrictions on such land and in developing land plans which limit
development. Such strategies maximize the amount of land preserved
and the value received on parcels sold, while minimizing the taxes
on a much appreciated asset. |
