Save Hubbard Brook Farmfield!!!

How important
is local farmland...
to YOU?

CONCORD HAS BEEN FARMED FOR GENERATIONS. Today, soaring land values and taxes threaten ourremaining farmlands. If these large, fertile fields are lost to development, Concord’s future generationswill not be able to enjoy local produce. Nor will they have the opportunity to experience a direct connection between the food they eat and the land they live on, or know the ever-changing beauty ofour town’s farmscapes.

CONCORD LAND CONSERVATION TRUST has a growing commitment to saving our community’s most significant farmland. When critical agricultural lands are endangered, CLCT will do its best to act quickly to save them from destruction—but we will only be able to do this with your help.

HUBBARD BROOK FARMFIELD, almost 18 acres of land near the corner of Route 2 and Sudbury Road, is currently for sale and will likely be developed, unless we save it—now! We are delighted to report that CLCT has recently reached an agreement with the landowner to purchase the property for $3.25 million. We have until May 1st to raise the necessary funds, and we hope that you will want to help.

This land deserves protection because it is:

• a field with outstanding soil where local squash and corn are currently grown, as well as a pastureand watering hole for cows.

• a much-loved and historically significant agricultural vista.

• the “missing piece” next to Soutter Field and Bigelow Woods—77 acres already owned by CLCT.

• a beautiful place to walk, ski, see wildlife and learn, first hand, where our food comes from.

CONCORD LAND CONSERVATION TRUST is working hard, in partnership with the Town of Concord, to raise $3.25 million to preserve this important agricultural site, so that it can remain a place where our freshest produce is grown.

Please join CLCT in protecting Hubbard Brook Farmfield. We ask for:

• your generous FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
• your VOTE at Town Meeting in April to approve
Community Preservation funds for this initiative.
