Other Ways to Get Involved With SCT...

Stow Conservation Trust

Moving deliberately and strategically, SCT purchased a 31.6 acre parcel from the Corzine family in the southwest quadrant of Stow in October, 2008. This parcel abuts the Hale Woodlands (24.3 acres) purchased by SCT in 2005. SCT’s purchases provide for a total of 55 acres in a part of Stow that previously had relatively little conserved, open land.
The Corzine property was purchased from Mrs. Gwenyth Corzine, widow of Dick Corzine. Dick was an early conservationist in Stow who played an important role in the purchase of Gardner Hill (Town Forest) over thirty years ago.

The financing of the Corzine purchase required $50,000 at the October, 2008 closing and $50,000 at each of the subsequent three annual anniversaries, for a total of $200,000. As of December, 2008 SCT has gifts and pledges of $5,200 toward the $200,000 total. While SCT is aware of other contributions likely to materialize, it urges neighbors and other Stow residents who value open land to consider outright gifts and pledges to this remarkable parcel.

Gifts and pledges should be forwarded to Stow Conservation Trust, PO Box 397, Stow MA 01775, and reference “Corzine.” Or click here to donate online now. When access is assured, SCT is confident that this combined 55-acre parcel will delight those who traverse the open space that helps make Stow distinctive.
