CONSERVATION IN PROCESS

BCCL is currently working with landowners to conserve over 340 acres in the headwaters of the Bull Creek. This three-parcel, two-town project will ensure public access to these remote places. Healthy headwaters and wetlands will help to mitigate flooding downstream and keep the Bull Creek water quality high for native brook trout, people and other wildlife that relies on it.
Grant fundraising is underway to raise the money needed to acquire and conserve these parcels. To date, grants have been awarded by the Fields Pond Foundation, Open Space Institute, and an anonymous donor.
