74 Acre Land Purchase:

The Sandown Conservation Commission in partnership with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) completed the purchase of 74 acres of protected open space on Friday 9/24/2010 from the children of Ward A. Porter. A parcel, Tax Map 9, Lot 16, of 16 acres surrounding the pond on Wells Village Rd. and a parcel, Tax Map 13, Lot 20, of 58 acres across the road from the pond make up the 74 acres. The 58 acre parcel abuts Sandown’s existing GreenWood-Hooke Town Forest and the Exeter River creating a wildlife corridor of 116 acres and protecting approximately ½ mile of the Exeter River with a riparian buffer.

The NRCS provided the majority of the funding with the balance of $236,000 coming from the Town’s Conservation Fund. This fund is made up of revenue from Land Use Change Taxes paid by landowners who develop their land.

If you have some time for a walk, you should explore this new open space with its Mill Site, cellar hole, and river banks. There are very walkable woods roads in place for a leisurely stroll. Temporary signage has been put in place at two trail heads.
