SVT Accepts 98th CR

On June 29, the Town of Boxborough officially granted SVT a conservation restriction (CR) on the 21-acre Sargent Road property. This marks SVT's 98th CR since our founding in 1953. 

The Sargent Road property was initially conserved in late 2022, thanks to the collaborative effort of SVT, the Town of Boxborough, and Boxborough Conservation Trust, with assistance from the Massachusetts LAND grant program. Together, we prevented a proposed housing development from carving up this forested parcel, which protects water resources and creates a link between nearby conserved lands.

The Town now owns the Sargent Road property and has granted the CR to SVT to ensure the land remains permanently protected. 

Thank you to everyone who played a role in the land's conservation.
