WARWICK Through a partnership with the Mount Grace Land Conversation Trust and Mass Audubon that was approved by the Selectboard this week, the town will seek state grant funding of up to $1.25 million to conserve 750 acres.
Mount Grace Conservation Director Sarah Wells, speaking alongside Mass Audubon Land Conservation Specialist Kate Buttolph on Monday, said they have assembled 11 landowners through partnerships with towns and independent property owners totaling 750 acres in Warwick, Royalston and Orange. The overall project is titled “The Greater Gales Brook Conservation Project” because the majority of the participating properties include a tributary of Gales Brook or are located in the Gales Brook watershed.
