Heaver's Family Farm Protected!
140 Acres Saved for the Benefit of All
The Charlestown Land Trust is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached to acquire a perpetual conservation easement on the 140 acre Heavers Family Farm. The working farm is part of the unique natural heritage of Charlestown and helps us ensure that out town will remain a beautiful and unspoiled place.
The Heavers Family Farm has many important conservation values. It is located on top of the Pasquisett Aquifer, which is the primary source of drinking water to the town of Charlestown.
