Rail Trail News Stow's Community Preservation Committee (CPC), Assabet River Rail Trail Committee (ARRTC), and Recreation Commission are pleased to report that the Town of Stow has completed the acquisition of an extensive easement on "Track Road" between Sudbury Road and White Pond Road for rail trail and public access purposes. With this purchase, the town now has contiguous access along the entire 1.85 miles between Sudbury Road and the Stow-Maynard town line - the longest uninterrupted segment in the 12.5 mile, five-community rail trail. This scenic and recreational resource brings Stow a step closer to connecting to the multi-town rail trail network that would extend from Marlborough to the South Acton Commuter Rail station. Gifts and pledges should be forwarded to Stow Conservation Trust, PO Box 397, Stow MA 01775, and reference "Rail Trail" Or click here to donate online now. |

Click image for larger view Corzine Property 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.  | ||
