Working with the Hillsborough Conservation Commission and the landowner, Five Rivers Conservation Trust became an executory interest holder of this attractive, 67-acre property near Hillsborough Center. The Conservation Commission holds the primary conservation easement, donated to the town by Olivia St. John Smith in 2008. Five Rivers holds executory easement.

This acreage, along North Road, has a wonderful mix of forest, fields, and wetlands. Of particular note is the property’s large wetlands, a beaver pond complex that exhibits extensive plant and wildlife diversity. This wetlands and forest is blessed with a host of wildlife that, in addition to beaver, include moose, bobcat, deer, bear, turtles, porcupine, and many species of birds.
