Moose Mountains Regional Greenways Conserves 100+ Acres in Brookfield and Wakefield

Wakefield, NH — Moose Mountains Regional Greenways recently conserved a reclaimed gravel pit on 103-acres that straddle the towns of Brookfield and Wakefield. The land overlays a stratified drift aquifer and the source water protection area surrounding two wellheads. These wells supply drinking water to approximately 1,500 Wakefield residents, businesses, churches, municipal buildings and the Paul School. The aquifer also overlies the groundwater supplying the private wells of many Brookfield residents.
