Conserving Land for Today and Tomorrow

Land conservation efforts in Lowell are an ongoing process.  Setting aside land in the City of Lowell is just as important, if not more important, than setting land aside in suburban and rural areas.  Lowell is unique with its natural resources, being the Merrimack River, the Concord River, as well as, various brooks, parks, alleys, canals, and pockets of forest.

The land conservation efforts of the Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust contribute to biological corridors.  These are links between critical habitats, such as the Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest and the Merrimack River.  Seen in the image above are Trust properties, Totman Conservation Land and West Meadow Conservation Land, and, Hawk Valley Farm, which is a Conservation Restriction the Trust holds in partnership with The Trustees of Reservations.
