 The
two parcels are highly visible from the southern cornfield of the
State Park and development of these lots would seriously harm vistas
from the popular Pine Point Loop Trail. With frontage on Lowell
Street this property will provide an important link across the road
to the sizable area of the State Park located South of Curve Street
and behind the Division Headquarters on Lowell Street. |

The
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management has pledged
$200,000 to this acquisition, in the expectation that private donors
will fund the balance. The Carlisle Conservation Foundation has
joined with a major donor to provide a grant of $50,000 to be matched
by private contributions. The Old North Bridge Hunt club and the
New England Mountain Bike Association have already pledged their
support. |

The
Carlisle Conservation Foundation is pleased to participate in this
important extension of Great Brook State Park. In effect over $750,000
worth of land will be preserved. We are extraordinarily grateful
to the major donor who made the challenge grant possible and to
each contributor who participates. |
