December 18, 2024 – Five Rivers Conservation Trust is pleased to announce the permanent conservation of the Joseph and Barbara Colby Conservation Area in Boscawen. The conservation area comprises three separate parcels totaling 309 acres along High Street (Rte. 4) in Boscawen. Joe Colby’s generous donation of a conservation easement in memory of his wife Barbara ensures that future generations will benefit from the same values and opportunities that both Joe and Barbara have enjoyed.
October, 2024 – Five Rivers Conservation Trust is pleased to announce the permanent conservation of the 90-acre Foster Meadow Farm on Water Street in Boscawen. Foster Meadow Farm is a well-known equestrian facility that specializes in training horses and riders in dressage. The 90-acre conservation easement was donated to Five Rivers by Pam Goodrich, who purchased the property in 1996 and built the equestrian facility.
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.
