 Sanbornville, NH - In partnership with the Strafford Rivers Conservancy, landowner Darayl Remick, and the Town of Wakefield, Moose Mountains Regional Greenways has facilitated the permanent preservation of 120 scenic acres of field and forest in Sanbornville, NH.
Located just north of downtown Sanbornville on Witchtot Road, the Remick property can be appreciated by travelers as they pass the picturesque fields and forests. The land is adjacent to another 131-acre conserved parcel. With the abutting Herberich property that is also in easement, this area now contains more than 250 acres of conserved land that drains into both Lovell and Great East Lakes
The Remick land also features excellent soils for farming and haying. In fact, more than 80 percent of the property’s soils are classified as ideal for agricultural use. This is especially unique in Carroll County, which has few soils suitable for farming compared to the soils of other New Hampshire counties.
The land provides a variety of habitat for native plant and wildlife species, including open fields, wooded areas, a beaver pond and a perennial stream.
“It has been a pleasure working with Mr. Remick to preserve this beautiful property,” said Moose Mountains Regional Greenways Director of Land Conservation Cynthia Belowski. “He truly loves his land and has a strong commitment to conservation.”
The Strafford Rivers Conservancy (SRC) will hold the conservation easement on the land in partnership with the Town of Wakefield. As the primary easement holder, the SRC will monitor the property regularly and will work with the landowner to ensure that the conserved land remains in its natural state.
“A conservation easement is a legal agreement between a landowner and a conservation organization,” said Strafford Rivers Conservancy President Kevin McEneaney. “Our job is to ensure that the land remains in the natural state that Mr. Remick intended when he made the commitment to conserve his property forever.”
The SRC is a land trust dedicated to protecting and conserving the natural beauty, resources and character of Strafford County and southern Carroll County. For more information about the SRC visit www.straffordriversconservancy.org or call 603-516-0772.
