August 12, 2024 – Five Rivers Conservation Trust announces the permanent conservation of the 90-acre Potter Farm on Oak Hill Road in Concord. Cynthia Potter Johnson led the family effort to sell the conservation easement for the Potter Farm to Five Rivers. She has fond memories of growing up on the farm and hopes the easement will give future generations the opportunity to farm the land as well.
August 1, 2024 – Five Rivers Conservation Trust is pleased to announce the permanent conservation of the 134-acre Kathryn Layne property near the center of Dunbarton. The property contributes to a large block of over 750 mostly contiguous acres protected by Five Rivers in Dunbarton, including the Koerber Family Forest (conserved 2021), Stone Farm (conserved 2017), and the Farley property (conserved 2013).
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.
