What's Happening at Five Rivers!
December 2023 – The Town of Hopkinton, in collaboration with Five Rivers, has been awarded a $88,250 grant to support the David and Kathleen Dustin Warner River Conservation Easement project. The 36-acre parcel has been in the Dustin family for approximately 200 years, featuring a promontory overlooking the Warner River and silver maple flood plain forest.
November 2023 – Following years of preparation, Five Rivers is pleased to release our Regional Conservation Plan that will guide our work in the strategic protection of natural resources, productive forests and farmlands, and recreation opportunities for years to come. We hope the interactive maps will invite conversations with partners – existing and new – and help us strengthen and build partnerships to accomplish more community-centered conservation work.
July 2023 – Five Rivers is in the process of conserving Blue Moon Berry Farm, a u-pick berry farm in Warner since the 1960s. We have secured approximately 90% of the funding required for the 109-acre conservation easement. Please help us cross the finish line for Blue Moon Berry Farm and protect this local treasure from future development! Thanks to a $2,500 matching gift from an anonymous donor, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar while funds last.
