Triacca / Dimond Hill Field Conserved!
April 20, 2012 – Triacca / Dimond Hill Field has been permanently saved, thanks to a dedicated community! Adjacent to Dimond Hill Farm lies valuable farmland, woods, and wetlands owned by the Triacca family.
The original owner of Dimond Hill Farm, Newton Abbott, sold these fields to one of his employees in 1932. Ever since, the land has been owned by the Triacca family and for decades, they grew corn and other crops on it. In 2011, the Triacca family wanted to put their land up for sale and approached the City of Concord and Five Rivers about the possibility of buying it. Five Rivers led a successful fundraising campaign to save the fields. Help came from the National Resource Conservation Service, the Russell Piscataquog River Watershed Foundation, and individual donors.
With the community in mind, and having decided to sell their land, the Triacca family has reached a forward-thinking conservation agreement with Five Rivers Conservation Trust and the City of Concord, but more funds need to be raised. Thank you! If you have questions please contact Jay Haines: director@5rct.org or 225-7225.
